Artist as an Entrepreneur Institute

This section of the site is based on a business course intensive for artists that was developed years back. The course was designed as a cumulative learning process, guiding you through your business plan. We recommend walking yourself through this content in the same way. Each session is strengthened by those that precede it. The videos, without reading or activities, add up to about 8 1/2 hours.

AEI includes information provided by third parties including opinions and advice. Assembly for the Arts, Affiliates, and their respective employees or agents are not responsible for the opinions, statements, services, offers or other information provided by Third Parties.
