Artist INC

Art. Business. Community. Artist INC Express is a weekend workshop for artists of all disciplines to address the business of art.

Artist INC Express is a 3-day intensive workshop created to address the specific business needs and challenges artists of all disciplines face every day. Building upon Artist INC’s experience working with hundreds of artists in the Midwest region through its core Artist INC Live seminar, Artist INC Express was designed to focus participants on learning the most essential skills in the shortest amount of time. Mid-America Arts Alliance, in partnership with the Arkansas Arts Council, will present a workshop centering the BIPOC artists and communities, and uplifting BIPOC voices. Led by BIPOC professional artist facilitators, the workshop is highly interactive and includes activities and discussions focused on goal setting, writing about your work, and building a personal brand – the building blocks for a sustainable art practice and a successful arts business. Artist INC Express immediately activates a network of artists in their community leading to additional peer to peer resource sharing and support long after the workshop concludes. The workshop is free to all Arkansas creative workers, with priority given to artists who identify as BIPOC. Registration is required.Workshop Facilitators: The Artist INC Express workshop is led by three of Artist INC’s peer facilitators.
