“Artrepreneur is a program designed to equip creative entrepreneurs with vital business skills needed for success across all arts disciplines and industries. Cohort 7 of Artrepreneur will launch in the City of Vaughan.

Artrepreneur York Region is comprised of weekly seminars, workshops, assignments and a final presentation and expo over a period of four months. It primarily serves York Region based artists, arts groups and arts businesses working in all artistic disciplines such as, though not limited to visual arts, dance, theatre, film, music, digital media, jewelry, fashion, and more. Our curriculum is blended with in-class working sessions, peer-to-peer learning, a one-on-one session in preparation for your final presentation and expo, and opportunities for group learning and discussion. 

By the end of the program, fellows will have gone through a business model canvas and a business plan, allowing you to take your business to the next level. Participants also have the opportunity to present their work to an audience, including York Region Arts Council stakeholders, at a final expo. The expo is for program fellows to present their businesses in a pitch-style format. It will also involve a graduation ceremony and showcase of work from each fellow. Upon successful completion, fellows will also be awarded a certificate endorsed by all program partners.
