Arts.Biz™ Ltd offers a series of workshop packages, from ongoing monthly workshops to intense 2-day workshops, as well as one-off workshops on a specific arts business topic. Workshops are interactive, and participants are given a series of in-class and take-home exercises designed to further their understanding of the business of being an artist.
Workshops are designed for artists involved in all fields of the creative industries, including
visual arts
performing arts

We work with new and emerging artists, as well as mid-career and established artists.
Beyond the information and practical advice offered in relation to each of the topics, the workshops also offer artists the opportunity to network and develop self confidence in their work and career choice.
