Ever thought about how you can develop or improve the small business side of your work as a traditional artist? From selling crafts, to playing music at weddings, to setting up touring opportunities—the possibilities are endless. Facilitated by Sofia Campos from Women’s Initiative for Self Employment (WISE) and Vanessa Camarena-Arredondo from The San Francisco Foundation.

This session offers tools for you to self-assess your business ideas and develops next steps to launching your enterprise. Wherever you are at with your ideas, you will develop your own business action plan and learn about successful examples of artist entrepreneurs who have participated in WISE’s business management training course.
