Artist INC Express FREE Three-Day Virtual Workshop

Hosted by Mid-America Arts Alliance's Artist INC with financial support from the Nebraska Arts Council, Artist INC Express is a three-day intensive workshop created to address the specific business needs and challenges artists of all disciplines face every day. 

This year, Artist INC Express comes to Nebraska—virtually!  The workshops will be split up regionally, with sessions spread out between the months of April and June. Registration is FREE! Check out the dates of each of the four Nebraska workshops below.

Through these Artist INC Express workshops, artists gain an increased understanding of planning and marketing related to arts entrepreneurship; communication tools including a brand statement, artist statement, and elevator speech; and a network of cross-discipline, diverse artists in the community. 

Building upon Artist INC’s experience working with hundreds of artists in the Midwest region through its core Artist INC Live seminar, Artist INC Express was designed to focus participants on learning the most essential skills in the shortest amount of time. Led by professional artist facilitators, the workshop is highly interactive and includes activities and discussions focused on goal setting, writing about your work, and building a personal brand–the building blocks for a sustainable art practice and a successful arts business.

Another goal of the workshop is to bring regional artists together and create a supportive arts community. Connect with your local arts community by using the links below to reserve your spot at one of four Nebraska Artist INC Express virtual workshops.
