Creative Economy

While doing a bit of research trying to see just how powerful our community of artists are here in Colorado I came across some amazing numbers. Check it out.

Within our creative economy, self-employment is particularly important. Let’s face it we artists prefer to work for ourselves. Since 2002 15.7% of us - independent artists, writers, and performers - have gone to work for ourselves as sole proprietors or self-employed contractors. That’s 1.7% higher than the national average!

In this challenging economy have you considered going into business for yourself? If so you need to check out The Other Side Arts (TOSA) up-coming class “Artist, Inc.” You’ll receive training in: professional presentation, business concerns for artists, funding, & exhibition, communication & marketing. As artists we are among the most educated yet undervalued members of our national economy. TOSA’s program will show you how to overcome the obstacles that stand between you and your dreams.
