CIA 7056 - The Business of Art

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

As artists, we need to bring as much heart and creativity to the business of survival as we do to our art itself. The class encourages students to think and identify as visionary entrepreneurs who are responsible for sourcing how to transform their "dream" into a reality. They will develop aplan of action and an overview for the next steps they need to take to make their vision into a lifework that supports them financially. They will also have the seed information needed to go on to create a more traditional business plan. Grounded in the vision plans, we will collectively develop boilerplate materials that can be used for fundraising, promotion, web design, etc. The Business of Art is designed to provide an environment in which each student is supported in looking both inward and outward, bringing together what may be disparate aspects of their creative life into a comprehensible whole, rooted in one's deepest values. Students will begin to envision the various possibilities of generating a livelihood that grows organically from one's heart intentions.
