"I haven’t felt quite so alive in years as I did going through ideas with Stacey and Olly. I even think that the module on tax returns may have saved me enough in a single year to have covered the cost of the entire course. I am now building something that I have dreamed of doing for a long time."

What to expect //

A practical, engaging and supportive course with a focus on the socially engaged artist as a social entrepreneur. Learn how to develop a business plan for yourself and an action plan in how to implement it. We will focus on WHY you do your work, WHAT that work looks like, and HOW you can achieve it through a focus on business planning, marketing and finance.

What will I leave with? //

Increased confidence and practical tools in business planning, financial matters, including budgeting and tax, and marketing. A comprehensive set of notes from the course.

Who’s it for? //

Any socially engaged artist who is interested in exploring tools and ideas that can progress the business side of their work.

"Challenging - detailed, enough opportunity to really have to interrogate vague ideas and get them specific. Thank you so much it has been wonderful and I have loved the experience and feel fired up and full of optimism and confidence."
