The Arts for Business Sake Initiative in Portsmouth and the Greater Seacoast area to help emerging and existing artists gain critical business development skills in order to make a living through their art. We support this mission by offering local artist peer groups, in which four to ten artists get support from their fellow artists in the community, share successes & challenges, strategize together to create goals, access loan capital, attend workshops and network with one another. The Arts for Business Sake Initiative offers workshops throughout the year as well as an annual daylong conference in which artists learn new skills, share their experiences and network together.
