Artist INC Live St Louis - Fall 2023

Artist INC LIVE is a training seminar designed to address the specific professional and entrepreneurial challenges that artists of all disciplines face in their practices.  Artists will learn and grow together through artist facilitator mentoring, small group activities, large group discussions, multimedia lectures and a remarkable opportunity for networking with other artists. 


Approximately 25 artists will be selected through an application process to engage in an eight-week training seminar led by a team of five trained peer facilitators. 


Who is an ARTIST? (How are we define “artist”)

If you engage in a creative practice, you are an artist.

Our definition of artist is broad and includes, but isn’t limited to, creative workers, visual artists, performers, writers, music creators, culture bearers, makers, artisans, storytellers, social conveners, idea purveyors, imaginaries, visionaries, teaching artists, and organizers.. 

M-AAA encourages those who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC); LGBTQ+; and/or disabled to apply.
