Are you an artist who’s looking to take more control of your creative life? Do you want to be able to bring more of your unique passion and purpose to your work? Are you excited to work in a variety of environments, with lots of different types of people, creating a wide range of projects? Do you feel claustrophobic when you think about working for one company for years and years? Do you want to expand opportunities for yourself to be creative and get paid? Then this circle might be right for you. 

This circle will help you build the business of YOU. By helping you learn to think like a CEO of your own creativity, you will understand not only how to find opportunities that may be out there, but to create them as well.

• Understanding how to create contracts
• Work-life balance
• And more!

We will also talk about resilience skills and making sure that we’re staying connected to why we want to do this work. In this circle, you’ll learn to nurture your passion while taking practical steps toward an expansive, creative career.
