On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator

About this program

The Indiana Arts Commission, in partnership with Minerva Financial Arts, offers the On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator — a three-day intensive entrepreneurship and community-engagement workshop for artists and creative professionals that includes instruction on portfolio careers and business fundamentals and the opportunity to apply for up to $2,000 to implement workshop lessons. The curriculum covers defining value and customers, marketing and partnership strategies, resource and asset protection, expense management, revenue generation, and planning for uncertainty, and cohorts form supportive networks for collaboration. Eligibility is targeted to early-career creatives interested in pursuing a portfolio career; completion of the Vision & Venture Workshop Series is recommended but not required, and the program is intended to precede the Creative Leap Business Series.
