“You can’t make a living as an artist!”  Now, more than ever, these “words-of-wisdom” given ‘round the dinner table by your elders no longer hold true. In the 21st century, the opportunities to live as an artist and maker are ever more available to those who choose to pursue them.

In this course, we will explore how an entrepreneurial mindset can help today’s artists see themselves as entrepreneurs who generate artistic, social, and economic value. Whether it’s setting yourself up for success in the gig-economy or developing an innovative venture with an artistic focus, this course will challenge you to use your creativity and adaptability to make the career you want for yourself in the arts.
