Business of Art: Facilitators Guide

To commemorate the sunset of the Business of Art series, CCI hosted a special training in May 2024 for facilitators interested in honing their skills to continue the legacy of the Business of Art curriculum. This training inspired the creation of this Facilitator’s Guide, which provides an overview of each chapter in the Business of Art, 3rd Edition workbook, along with practical tips for using the curriculum in a cohort-based learning environment. This free guide was written for artist-entrepreneurs and those who want to help individual artists thrive.

CCI, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, is pleased to announce the launch of a new report on U.S. artists. The report describes significant changes that alter definitions of artists, how they sustain their practice, and yet-unrealized potential to contribute positively to social issues and apply creativity throughout all sectors. This research was supported by Surdna Foundation and Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
