Creative Business Masterclass

How to create an art career…

Artists, creatives and makers: it’s time to make your art marketable!
You have created the art; you likely have a lot of questions about how you’re actually going to make a living from it.

  • Who will take my work seriously?
  • Is my work professional enough?
  • Can this really become a full-time profession?
  • How do I take that next step?
  • What assistance is available for ongoing advice, mentorship and help?

You are not alone and Creative Business Masterclass is going to show you how.

We have asked 3 highly successful business professionals in Western QLD to share with us one way that they create income from their business. We have challenged these creative experts to share their secrets and vast insight in the industry.

This FREE Masterclass will be filled with decade’s worth of wisdom, knowledge, and mic-drop moments from 3 veterans:

Their secrets to success are here to help you develop your creative business, to help take the guesswork out of the process and improve your chances of success.
