This online business series runs on Zoom from April 29 until June 3 and is designed to help artists flourish as entrepreneurs as well as artists, and create a sustainable living from their artistic practice.

Register today through Eventbrite.

“The Artrepreneur Series is the latest installment of Arts Council’s Business of the Arts program,” said Liana Wheeldon, Executive Director for Arts Council Wood Buffalo. “This is an exciting project, because it’s our first collaboration with Community Futures Wood Buffalo and Project Gazelle.”

Project Gazelle is a women’s economic empowerment project in partnership with 15 other Community Futures offices from Northern Alberta and Northwest Saskatchewan designed to help women grow their business.

“Community Futures Wood Buffalo is here to support small businesses and entrepreneurs, so they can grow and prosper,” said Executive Director, Pamela Ramrup. “Sometimes we overlook that artists are entrepreneurs too, and they are an essential part of the business community.”

Registration for this workshop series is open to artists in the Wood Buffalo region, as well as participants from across Alberta. The series includes workshop topics such as “Pitching with Confidence,” “Understanding Cash Flow,” and “Creating a Business Plan.”
