 The Business of Art™ -  Entrepreneurial Training for Artists

Artists and creative entrepreneurs who take CCI's signature 8-week program, Business of Art™, learn key business skills that provide them with the knowledge and resources to help advance their art, develop their ideas, and increase their financial independence.

Students learn key concepts involved in goal-setting, strategic planning, marketing and self-promotion, money management, legal issues, and project financing. In addition to classroom training, all Business of Art™ students participate in cluster counseling sessions with leading arts and business professionals.

What former attendees are saying:

"Like many creative artists, I had always been timid about taking charge of my own promotion, and Business of Art gave me a very practical path to do just that."

"My art career has blossomed through continued networking and resources learned in the classes. I would highly recommend Business of Art to artists looking for the next step."
