In this course we prepare ourselves to start out our professional career in the arts. We analyse our market and try to find our own position as a market entrant. We learn to formulate our personal unique selling proposition (USP), and go through the different aspects of making a strategic plan: writing a mission and vision, considering our values and ethics, working out concrete actions. We focus also on the financial part of being an artist, and learn some tips and tricks to become more successful in (commercial) negotiation.
