Workshop: Strategy is the Remedy: Strategic Planning for Artists

Strategic planning is not just for businesses. Artists can benefit from strategic planning to achieve positive growth and not just rely on repetitive D.I.Y.’s other artists have used to carve their careers.

In this interactive workshop, artists will be pushed to utilize strategic planning to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses. In order to organize career priorities, we will work together to create a beginner’s plan to realize growth points of future development.
