About this Event
Join the Creative Entrepreneur Bootcamp!
Across Appalachia, creativity thrives in studios, kitchens, classrooms, and small businesses built on skill, originality, and imagination. Yet many talented artists, designers, makers, digital creators, and culinary entrepreneurs struggle to turn their work into stable, sustainable income—not because of a lack of talent, but because traditional business education is not designed for the realities of creative work. Most creatives rely on commissions, contracts, and project-based income, which requires different financial, marketing, and planning strategies than conventional business models.
To address this gap, Create Appalachia—Where Art Means Business—has launched the Avante Creative Entrepreneur Bootcamp, a practical, hands-on program designed specifically for creative professionals. Serving East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, Western North Carolina, and Southeastern Kentucky, the organization equips participants with tools for pricing their work, understanding finances and marketing, building authentic customer relationships, and creating sustainable business models. A new bootcamp cohort begins in March 2026 and is open to creatives with an existing business, a side hustle, or a serious idea ready to grow.
