Welcome to Driving Lessons, a course for artists to navigate the professional art world. The focus is to provide artists with basic knowledge of proposal/grant writing, budgeting and financial literacy, communications and public relations, and negotiation skills. This is a seminar class that takes place over the course of a day with guest speakers giving their expert knowledge on their topics.

The next installment of Driving Lessons will be late spring, 2026.

Here you can find all the info and materials needed for the course. Past class videos will also be uploaded here in case you miss one or want to review.
