Artist INC is made possible in Lawrence by the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission and Mid-America Arts Alliance. Artist INC is a cutting edge training program that empowers artists to take control of their careers by addressing the specific business challenges artists of all disciplines face every day. Limited to 25 participants per session, artists gather one night a week for eight weeks to learn business skills specific to their art practice and apply those skills cooperatively with their peers. Using an innovative class design, artists learn and grow together through artist facilitator mentoring, small group application activities, as well as large group discussion and multi-media lecture.
