Greetings! As we've shared with you over the past couple of months, LINC is committed to helping artists build satisfying, sustainable careers in S.C. by encouraging collaboration and providing training and resources for emerging artist entrepreneurs. The LINC retreat in May is all about collaboration and the possibilities within reach when we work together. With planning the retreat well in hand and registration hopping, we at the S.C. Arts Commission have turned out attention to the portion of LINC that provides entrepreneurial training for artists looking to solidify their business acumen. 

Folks, I have been blown away by the good people in our state who have offered their time, expertise, and resources to you. Businesses, consultants, and institutes of higher education have stepped forward (in many cases, they've called us!) to say that they want to see artists succeed in South Carolina, and that they are willing to help make it happen. We are busy in meetings all over the state, but for now, plan on a few different offerings being made available over the summer and fall that will prepare you to approach the business aspects of your career with the same knowledge and skill you bring to the artistic aspects.

If you have not yet registered for the LINC retreat, make that happen by clicking here!  We look forward to seeing you soon.
