Building professional skills for artists

We make resources and create opportunities for artists to learn entrepreneurial, business, and strategic skills.
Thrive as an artist
Artists working in community
Artists and communities thrive when they work together. Our goal is always to create projects that are adaptable to the the needs of individual communities; and to catalyze relationships and mechanisms that bring artists and communities together, and have lasting impact.
