‘Driving Lessons’ is an artist professional development program that consists of a two-day, weekend intensive or the equivalent as a series of evening classes. The program is comprised of goal setting and skill building for artists to succeed in their career and with their artistic practice. From large envisioning to the nitty gritty, this course will result in a strategic plan for the participants’ lives and careers. Specifically, the intensive will cover financial literacy skills, business management, goal setting, communications, negotiation, taxes, budgeting, marketing, and more.
Instructors include Anissa Lewis, Maria Seda-Reeder, Morgan Rigaud, Morgan Owens and Calcagno Cullen.
There is a modest fee for class, and several scholarships are available for artists who cannot afford the cost. The fee covers meal costs for attendees during the course as well as a curriculum workbook co-written by the course instructors, designed by artist Julia Lipovsky and printed by Cereal Box Studios.
