Welcome to the COSE Arts Network – a network of professional artists and arts based business owners offering professional development resources, education and networking events, benefits programs and business savings to those in the creative industries.
COSE understands the unique challenge of working creatively every day, while also dealing with the same financial, technical, legal and marketing concerns many other small businesses face. This artist business group aims to ease that burden for creative professionals, so that they have time and energy remaining to do what they do best.
COSE has made its health care and professional development resources even more accessible to the network of professional artists and arts entrepreneurs of Northeast Ohio. The COSE Arts Network is truly an artist business group - a unique collaboration addressing the specific needs of creative professionals in our business community.
