Please note: The Artist Resource Center is not currently an active program of Arts2People.

For years Arts 2 People has made the success of local creative entrepreneurs a core element of each one of its programs. After many years of development, Arts 2 People now presents an essential business management training program designed specifically for artists in business. We are fortunate in our region to have a broad network of organizations working toward community development, and who recognize our working artists as a core part of the strategy for our region’s growth and success. Preparing artist entrepreneurs to engage effectively in the process makes the strategy complete. ARC makes accessible the skills needed for efficient business management, allowing the artist more time in the studio or on stage, where they can perfect what is core to their creative gifts. Marketing, bookkeeping, computer skills, planning assistance, tax prep, and more are available, as are computers, peripherals, and costly software. The new location at S. Market St. in the YMI Cultural Center is due to open in February of 2011.
