The Art of Music Business

Today’s artist has to master their craft, think like an entrepreneur, and market their work. It sounds like a lot—because it is. But staying true to the vocational call of being an artist does not have to mean going without pay. This day-long Saturday workshop taught by experienced and knowledgeable leaders is designed to give artists the tools and resources needed to excel in their work, build a business, and fulfill their calling as a creative.

Together we will explore: business models, entrepreneurship, finding gaps in the market, what it looks like to understand who you are as an artist, developing the audience you want, and the brand you need.

Space is limited to 60 attendees, registration required.

Ticket includes three sessions, headshots, lunch, and applicable resources.

SESSION ONE: Running your Business 101
Understanding business structure, taxes, budgeting, and funding sources are the bedrock of going from starving to thriving.

SESSION TWO: Visual & Brand Identity for Musicians, Including Headshots + Messaging & Fan Engagement
Finding a gap in the market requires artists to understand both the field they fit into and what makes their creative voice unique. The way artists craft the stories of their work connects them to their audience. This session will consider what it looks like to have a cohesive branding and marketing strategy and how that can be used to actively connect with your audience.
