Seminars target arts enterpreneurship - The Business Journal of the Greater Triad Area

An educational workshop series called “Entrepreneurship for Creatives” will help artists and others find ways to turn their creativity into viable businesses, according to an announcement from the Piedmont Triad Partnership.

The Partnership is working with the United Arts Council of Greater Greensboro to put on the workshop spanning three Saturdays beginning later this month. Economic developers have identified the arts as an area of growth for the Triad region.

“Now more than ever it is critical that we help equip and develop our local creative sector with the vital tools and skills they need to be successful,” said Jeanie Duncan, president of the United Arts Council. “Doing so will retain and nurture an important part of our creative work force and further cultivate a competitive regional advantage.”

Workshops will cover topics such as market research, intellectual property laws and strategic planning. Registration costs $150 and is open to anyone in the Triad region, and some scholarships are available.

The three sessions in the series will be on April 25, May 2 and June 6 at the Greensboro Cultural Center. Registration information is at www.uacarts.org.
