Arts Lead.... A Program for Better Business

---

Arts Lead is a 6 month long professional development program designed to serve visual artists in business. The approach is both customized and education-based, helping artists to manage tasks and initiate new projects, or to carry out big ideas. Participants receive guidance, support, and resources to stabilize, grow, and propel them forward in their creative work. Customized communication and resources are the heart of Arts Lead. Thea helps participating arts entrepreneurs to elevate their offerings. 

The Culture: Participants have various levels of knowledge or development, but each have a desire to earn profit and to grow a sustainable business.Accountability is an important factor, but participants should not feel rushed or overwhelmed by program tasks; it’s not a hustle, it’s a practice. Arts Lead is most effective when participants are responsive and timely with the resources offered; establishing routines and applying the practices brings success.
