| "teaching young artists the business of being an artist" |

At Hearts for the Arts, Inc., we teach young artists the business of being an artist by offering training that teaches them how to market themselves and their work. Upon completion of training, through our talent management division, our ARTpreneurship workshops prepare them to produce events, maintain a polished image and get paid to showcase their talent. We do this because schools today are minimizing art programs that once allowed students to actively participate in creative work. As a result, many young artists today have stunning artistic ability, but do not have access to opportunities that can help them reach their creative potential. As a solution, Hearts for the Arts, Inc. tackles this problem at the root by reconnecting the arts and education to create learning opportunities that promote academic, artistic, social and career development in creative youth. We venture beyond traditional training techniques to teach young artists the business of being an artist so that they transition successfully and independently into adulthood! For the adult artist—budding, rising or seasoned—looking to start or boost a career in the arts, we offer business-building strategies to help them attend college, build a successful business or stay marketable in today's competitive workforce. |
