TD ARTpreneurs is a FREE 10-week program introducing young artists ages 15-25 to basic business skills. It was designed and developed by young artists for young artists. It is run in collaboration with YAC and partner organizations throughout Nova Scotia.

TD ARTpreneurs provides business training for artists from all artistic disciplines including music, dance, digital art, visual arts… it is designed for any creative to start or grow their creative business. ARTpreneurs will be supported to build their creative talents, skills and passions into a creative product or service.
