The Artist as an Entrepreneur Institute
Founded by the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture (CPAC) and presented by COSE, the Artist as an Entrepreneur Institute (AEI) is an intensive business course designed for creative individuals and arts based business owners. This program covers topics that impact an artist’s daily operations, from creating a personal brand and marketing, to intellectual property, writing a business plan and accounting.
