What Works is a workshop based on sharing the common behaviors of successful artist entrepreneurs. This workshop includes discussions of goal setting and planning, multiple income streams, communications, strategic networking, financial planning, and more. Designed for artists and creatives of all disciplines—from dancers to poets—this workshop includes a What Works workbook that offers participants goal setting and strategic planning exercises, a marketing checklist, and prompts that will inspire to “make art work.”
This interactive workshop will have artists and creatives of all disciplines working together to understand time management. Artists are their own bosses, and often not very nice bosses to themselves. This workshop will help participants with decision-making around time, while aligning time with their creative purposes. This fun session includes rocks, paint pens, group challenges, and opportunities to engage with peers.
