Applications to apply are now closed.
Artist as Entrepreneur Boot Camp is an intensive, multiday professional development opportunity that delves into the fundamental principles of sustainability in the arts. Topics to be featured include finance, law, marketing, and fundraising. Additional material will be drawn from NYFA’s popular textbook “The Profitable Artist” (Allworth Press, 2011).
The Boot Camp’s structure is a blend of formal lectures, breakout groups, and one-on-one meetings. Participants work through a flexible and dynamic “action plan,” that provides a blueprint for their future project, career, and business goals. Each participant will receive specific feedback from experts in the field, as well as their peers.
There is no charge to participate in the Artist as Entrepreneur Program. Artists interested in attending are required to apply and participants are selected by a panel review process. Artists of all disciplines and career stages are encouraged to apply.
