Course Description

In this course you will develop skills and knowledge required to adopt a professional approach to creative practice, including engaging in the business aspects of working as a creative practitioner.

Independent creative practitioners sometimes work as employees in small and large organisations. Depending on the particular creative practice, they often operate as sole practitioners, in artist cooperatives, or as freelance or contract workers. Regardless of the business model, all practitioners earning income from their practice must engage with the professional business requirements for a sustainable creative practice.
