Central Arkansas creatives, who were chosen for their artistic excellence, gathered once a week over the past eight weeks to explore and develop the professional aspects of their artistic practices. Our cohort of creatives is a cross-disciplinary group that connected and networked while creating strategic frameworks toward enduring artistic careers.
Artist INC LIVE: Little Rock was led by local, professional creatives who facilitated a safe, learning experience that uplifted individual artists’ careers while strengthening the creative eco-system in Central Arkansas. All fees for the program were waived for artists, thanks to the sponsorship of the Arkansas Arts Council.
Artist INC, a program through Mid-America Arts Alliance, is a training seminar series designed to address the specific professional and entrepreneurial challenges that artists of all disciplines face in their practices. Artists learn and grow together through artist facilitator mentoring, small group activities, large group discussions, multimedia lectures and networking opportunities.
