Artist Training Certificate series
Congratulations to this year’s cohort of artists.
Registration is now open for individual modules.
The Artist Training Certificate Series (ATC) is a comprehensive business training program for artists who want to get a better sense of their artistic intent, presentation of self, and business goals. The ATC series consists of four modules of training and workshops with a focus on artist development, marketing, web development, finance, business planning, and teaching. ATC is a comprehensive business training program for artists who want to get a better sense of their artistic intent, presentation of self, and business goals.
Artists who apply to take the series in its entirety will be supported with private sessions, meetings with ACCR staff, a certificate of completion, a celebration, and an art share opportunity.
To keep these programs tailored to specific needs, each module is limited in size. Each session includes 5 cohorts with up to an additional five registered artists per module. Five artists can select individual modules that address specific knowledge gaps in their careers.
These training programs are free of charge, and tailored to the unique needs and disciplines of the selected artists.
