PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HUB FOR CREATIVES SURVEY

The Professional Development Hub for Creatives is an initiative of The ACGG to address the gap between being an artist and an entrepreneur. It aims to provide artists with the necessary business skills and resources to succeed in running a small creative business. The Professional Development Hub for Creatives Survey assesses where artists currently stand in their professional development journey.

This assessment will help tailor the support and resources for each artist's needs. By connecting artists with partner organizations that focus on entrepreneurial development, the Hub ensures that the artists receive expert guidance and opportunities for growth. The ACGG collaborates with multiple partners to leverage their expertise and resources, including SCORE, Triangle Art Works, and GTCC Small Business Center. Each partner agency offers professional development programming for creatives, and the goal is to align your professional development needs with the optimal professional development opportunity. An artist who can make a significant portion of personal income from their creative practice is a small business owner. Being a business owner offers opportunities, access to capital, tax benefits, and investor relationships.
