Learn how to mind your own business and set yourself up for success in this one-day workshop on administration for professional artists. Be ‘opportunity-ready’ and get the lowdown on: industry standards and expectations; what makes a polished portfolio; social media necessities and communication etiquette; and skills for scheduling and project management.

This is a great session for emerging artists who want to know where to start. Providing the basic steps towards being a professional practicing artist, it also includes how to tackle the paperwork, such as invoicing and book keeping.

If you’re an amateur considering moving into the professional sphere, an educator fostering career pathways, or an arts graduate wanting to know what to do next, come and learn about the business administration essentials required to sustain an arts practice.

Resources and worksheets also provided.

$75 ($60 for Flying Arts Members)

Participants to Bring:

– Lunch or snacks (there are food establishments within walking distance of the venue if preferred)
– Pen and paper or laptop for note-taking
