Entrepreneur Works

In observance of Juneteenth, Entrepreneur Works will be closed on Friday, June 19 and will reopen on Monday, June 22.

We wish everyone a meaningful Juneteenth as we honor this important day in our nation's history.

At Business of Art featuring Julius Tennon, we explored what it takes to build a sustainable creative career.

Now it's time to put those ideas into action.

Many creatives have the talent, the portfolio, and the passion—but still struggle to turn their work into consistent income.

That's why we're launching the next step in the Business of Art Learning Series:

🎨 From Passion Project to Paid Project

Join us as we explore how to identify revenue opportunities, package your skills, monetize the work you're already doing, and build a stronger foundation for long-term success.

Whether you're an artist, filmmaker, photographer, designer, musician, content creator, or creative entrepreneur, this session will help you think differently about the business side of your craft.

Your creativity is the spark.

Business knowledge is the fuel.

“This room is not just filled with artists, entrepreneurs, and creatives. It’s filled with visionaries and cultural architects.”

At Entrepreneur Works Presents: The Business of Art, Aisha Winfield reminded us that creative work is bigger than a product, performance, or portfolio. It’s about shaping culture, telling stories, and building something that impacts our communities.

But vision alone isn’t enough.

To build a sustainable creative career, artists and entrepreneurs also need the business knowledge, strategies, and systems that turn great work into long-term opportunities.

That’s why we’re continuing the conversation with two upcoming workshops designed specifically for creative entrepreneurs:

🎨 From Passion Project to Paid Project
📅 June 16 | 6:30 PM

💡 Repurposing Your Work for Multiple Revenue Streams
📅 June 23 | 6:30 PM

If you’re an artist, musician, photographer, videographer, designer, content creator, freelancer, or creative entrepreneur, these workshops were built with you in mind.

As Aisha challenged attendees during The Business of Art, don’t just leave inspired—take action.
