Artist INC: Not your regular business class
Building a business or career around a music practice isn’t like building any other small business. Musicians face different challenges.
Artist INC, a program of Mid-America Arts Alliance, addresses these challenges, helping musicians and creatives take control of their careers. Now, in partnership with the New Mexico Music Commission, Artist INC is bringing that training to New Mexico to help New Mexico musicians learn business skills relevant to their work and turn their music into sustainable careers.
Unlike other entrepreneur- and business-focused classes, Artist INC is tailored for the needs and challenges of working musicians of any genre. Musicians learn and grow together in small groups led by peer facilitators.
These workshops immediately activate a network of musicians in the community leading to additional peer-to-peer resource sharing and support, long after the workshop concludes.
Led by professional musician facilitators, the intensive nine-hour workshop addresses the specific professional needs and challenges that musicians face.
All sessions are online.
