We are excited to launch Artrepreneur in the City of Sudbury!

Artrepreneur is a 9-week creative entrepreneurship program comprised of weekly sessions. It primarily serves artists, creative entrepreneurs and cultural professionals representing arts and cultural groups, organizations and businesses working in all creative disciplines such as, though not limited to: visual arts, dance, theatre, film, music, jewellery, fashion, augmented reality and game design. By the end of the program, fellows will have completed a business model canvas and a business plan, allowing them to take their businesses to the next level. Upon successful completion, fellows will also be awarded a certificate endorsed by all program partners.

Speakers
Speakers from a variety of different backgrounds will be brought in to give a wholesome outlook on the various different aspects of arts administration.
