Dane Arts, an arts funding arm for Dane County, invites artists and entrepreneurs to participate in the annual Business of Art Conference. The conference theme is “Artists at Work — Minding Your Own Business,” and it will take place April 24–26 at Madison’s Arts & Literature Lab, 111 S. Livingston St., and across the street at StartingBlock Madison, 821 E. Washington Ave., second floor.
Attendees will learn about essential business tools for artists to successfully manage and promote their work. This year’s conference features three areas of focus: business strategies, wellness and self-care, and community development for artists. It will include self-care workshops, presentations by health professionals who incorporate the arts into their work, and a keynote presentation on creativity in business.
There will be a pre-event reception at Café Coda and Aubergine Community Space with music by Madison’s Madtown Mannish Boys, a local Chicago-style blues band.
Registration will open in early 2025. Work-volunteer scholarships are available, as are business sponsorships opportunities to support the conference.
Additional information can be obtained via email.
