Sedona Entrepreneurial Artist Development Program

The Sedona Entrepreneurial Artist Development Program (SEAD) is a 2-day intensive workshop held March 14-15, 2026, that empowers visual artists to see their creative practice through an entrepreneurial lens. The SEAD curriculum explores tools to organize, plan, and sustain a creative career, with the goal of developing an individualized business plan to prepare each artist to take their creative endeavors to the next level.

Participants will learn about topics including strategic planning, creating your artist statement, resume and bio, marketing, accounting and more. The program is open to visual artists working in craft/traditional arts, photography, drawing, film/video/new media, mixed-media/multi-discipline, painting, and sculpture. Participants who successfully complete the program and create their educational strategic plan within a year will each be eligible to apply for a $500 grant for implementation.
