The Center for Cultural Innovation was founded in 2001 to promote knowledge sharing, networking and financial independence for individuals in the arts. Their signature program, the Business of Art, is designed to enhance the business skills of artists and entrepreneurs working across the creative disciplines. Taught by arts business leaders with both commercial and nonprofit experience, the Business of Art curriculum is rooted in the idea that your art business is driven by two elements: your core values and the people who value what you do. Participants learn key concepts involved in goal-setting, business models, marketing and self-promotion, money management, legal issues, strategic planning, and project financing.
