"Know Your Business" is a power-packed, hands-on professional development workshop designed specifically for artists, creatives, and cultural entrepreneurs who are ready to move from passion to profitability — and from talented to protected. This workshop bridges the gap between your creative gift and the business infrastructure you need to sustain it, scale it, and secure it for the long term.

Whether you are just launching your creative career or you have been in the industry for years without a solid business foundation, Know Your Business meets you exactly where you are — and takes you exactly where you need to go.

 👥 WHO THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR

Know Your Business was built for:

• Visual artists — painters, photographers, sculptors, and digital artists selling their work or placing it in galleries
• Musicians and recording artists — independent artists navigating labels, producers, licensing deals, and publishing rights
• Performing artists — actors, dancers, choreographers, and theatre professionals working under contracts and performance agreements
• Filmmakers and content creators — directors, writers, and producers managing intellectual property and distribution rights
• Literary artists — authors, playwrights, poets, and spoken word artists navigating publishing and adaptation agreements
• Cultural entrepreneurs — those building arts-based businesses, nonprofits, or creative brands in their communities
• Emerging creatives — artists at the beginning of their professional journey who want to build the RIGHT foundation from day one
• Experienced artists — seasoned professionals who have operated informally and are ready to formalize, protect, and grow what they have built

If you create for a living — or dream of doing so — this workshop was designed with you in mind.
