The Artist Accelerator Program (AAP) is a foundational arts business program designed for art practitioners in the visual, literary, and performing arts. Established and emerging artists from around the region work together in a supportive, collaborative environment, gaining career-building skills that boost confidence, and economic proficiency. AAP advances The Arts Center’s mission through support of regional artists with career-building programming, mentorship, and increased opportunities for artists to be visible in the community.

Professional development lectures are presented through the fall/winter with subjects centered around creating and sustaining an arts-related business. Lecture topics include marketing & branding, business 101, finances for sole-proprietors, selling online, and more. Artist Accelerator Lectures provide info and community for developing your creativity into a successful life in the arts. Eight lectures are planned through the end of 2020, and will be added as soon as speakers are confirmed.

Join us if you have been wanting to turn your passion into a business, or learn how to sustain new projects.
