You can’t build a successful arts business alone.

Because Who You Know Still Matters

To build a successful arts business, you need people around you can trust to help build your business your way. We are talking about the bookkeeper who helps you keep your income/expenses in line, or the web designer or photographer who helps promote the work you do and expand your business.  As a key part of your business growth, you need to develop a list of these service providers that you can trust and know your business. As an artist or arts non-profit leader, it can be hard to find service providers that already understand and value the work you do, and that WANT to work with artists/arts businesses.

 

That's why we are building out our
Creative Services Network

We are creating a searchable database of service providers that artists like you recommend, and we need your help.

Help us create a searchable database of trusted service providers for those of us working in the arts. Who is your “go-to” bookkeeper, lawyer, writer, business consultant? We want to know. If you provide these services and regularly work with artists - let us know! Are you a service provider that loves working with the arts sector? Tell us about your work. Help folks in this sector find you!

Let’s Build this Network Together!
