Colony Park Pool Project Community Engagement

I am happy to share our Cohort program with you finally. I hope you are still enthusiastic about joining us and being one of our cohort participants.

The Creative Entrepreneurial Cohort (CEC) is for professional artists looking to develop their artistic endeavors into sustainable businesses. The CEC will focus on increasing arts business acumen, defining marketing strategies, and fiscal stewardship.

Because most workshops will be in the evening or on weekends, Artists should be available between 6-9 pm on Wednesdays for online or on-site meetings from mid-August to early December. Artists should be available to exhibit during Austin Studio Tour weekends in November (Nov 4-5, 11-12, and 18-19).

Selected artists are expected to have time to put into this program. CVA anticipates each artist will commit to spending 8-10 hours per week on program activities between August and November. Some participants will need to spend more time in preparation for the Austin Studio Tour.

The CEC includes a $500 stipend per participant that can be spent on business expenses identified and incurred during the program.

*Cohort content includes:

Professional Paths and Defining Business Goals | Talking about Your Art, Messaging, and Intent | Arts Branding and Sales| Maintaining Business Operations | Accounting and Bookkeeping | Intellectual Property | Business Management and the Artistic Practice | Connecting to Your Community

All application materials are due by Friday, June 30. Applications received after this time may not be considered. There is no fee to apply.
