The Art of Managing Your Career – Indigenous Perspectives course presents an overview of the practical skills you need to grow your career as an artist and creator!
We will open each evening with a sharing circle. Followed by learning an invaluable skill-set for creative entrepreneurs, including envisioning and developing a career strategy, developing a business plan, marketing and promoting your work, bookkeeping and budgeting tips!
For Indigenous artists working in any artistic discipline, and those interested in working with Indigenous artists, this course covers both business and cultural topics over 8 sessions, including:
- Envisioning and developing a career strategy
- Effective business and communication skills
- Marketing and promoting your work
- Managing projects, financial affairs, and legal matters
- Cultural mapping and resources
- Explorations of protocols
- A history of Indigenous art in Canada
- Indigenous art in public, commercial and/or community realms
The course is open to anyone with an existing or emerging arts practice including traditional craftspeople, dancers, filmmakers, musicians, hand drummers, new media content creators, visual artists, writers and knowledge keepers. If you are a self-employed artist, or looking to increase the portion of your employment derived from your art, then this course is for you.
By the end of this course, you will have developed an extensive business plan, a marketing plan, and have a template for managing your finances, and found your creative community, all while pursuing your artistic dreams!
