So, you’ve found your niche, your family and friends constantly say “you could make a living off of this,” and maybe you’ve even sold a few of your creative objects. What should you do next? Learn how to turn your creative business idea into a viable, valuable reality during the UpTown Arts Entrepreneur Initiative (AEI) Spring Workshop and Panel Series during a one day workshop from 11:30am-1:30pm on Thursday, March 3: Library Training Business Boost Using Library Resources to Gain the Competitive Edge.
Want a more in-depth approach? The Business Roadmap Workshop Series is perfect for creative entrepreneurs itching to hit the market. Guided by arts entrepreneurship expert Molly Reams Thompson (Manager, LaunchPad Incubation at The University of Toledo), the Tuesday workshops (5:30-8:30pm Tuesdays, March 2, 9 & 16) will help you create a plan to go beyond Etsy.
