Are you finding it challenging to balance the spontaneity of your creative practice with the structure needed to run a business? Do you wonder if it’s possible to stay true to your creative vision while setting and meeting concrete goals? Maybe the concept of planning for your creative business feels daunting, or even unnecessary.

In this practical session, Alice Sheridan, founder of the Connected Artist Club, will explore how to cultivate a business mindset that complements your creative aspirations. Together, we’ll look at:

• How you can you confidently own the business side of your creative practice

• How to prioritise or plan so that you can grow sustainably

• Staying flexible and adjusting your “creative planning” in action

This session is for creatives who want to bring both sides of the brain to their practice, combining a love of making with a willingness to adapt, learn, and grow as a business.

Whether it’s breaking down your year or learning to embrace a little “nerdiness” in tech and finances, you’ll leave with a framework that respects your art within the context of your life so you can set up your business for success.
