The Art of Business provides artists with tools to build a successful arts business at any level. Our artist businesses classes began as a partnership with the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and have continued to grow over the years, in part because of generous donations from attendees to our 2018 Anniversary Gala. This year, our business support expanded, thanks to our partnerships with the Indiana Arts Commission and Coverdale Consulting!
