Art of Doing Business as a Creative
Presented by the Harwich Department of Cultural Affairs & the Community Development Partnership
 
Join us on March 14th and 21st for a two-day workshop focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities for small business owners who are artists, makers, and creatives.
Working on creative tasks may be easier and more appealing than working on business tasks, but ignoring the business side won’t benefit your creative business in the long run. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned pro, this workshop is for you. The Art of Doing Business as a Creative is tailored to provide the foundation you need to start, stabilize and grow your creative business. Expert panelists will provide information on business basics, including for seasonal operations, branding, social media, selling your work, and much more. Invest in yourself as a creative business and sign up today.
