Advancing Creatives

Advancing Creatives is CBCA’s artist professional development and business skills education programming.   These workshops are designed to connect creatives of all kinds (musicians, filmmakers, writers, dancers, painters, graphic designers, etc.) with experts in various industries to learn about relevant topics, such as finance, marketing, taxes, social media and more. Advancing Creatives seeks to build the entrepreneurial skills and professional capacity of Colorado’s creative workforce and leaders.

Thanks to our terrific speakers for sharing their knowledge and to our various arts partners for hosting these workshops and helping us spread the word!
