Level-up your arts-based business
SCAC opens FY25 Artist Entrepreneur Incubator
APPLICATION DEADLINE: By session
#SCArtists with a freelance arts-based business have a valuable tool available to take that business to the next level.
The Artist Entrepreneur Incubator is a virtual program that gives artists living and working in South Carolina practical skills to level-up their freelance businesses. It is open to artists of all disciplines.
The ideal candidate is a mid-career artist with an independent body of work. They have received recognition through publication or public presentation of their work and are prepared to present their work to a broader audience.
By the way… it’s free thanks to SCAC Artist Development.
