Periscope CHA: Artist Entrepreneur Training Program

ArtsBuild is accepting applications for the inaugural cohort of Periscope CHA: Artist Entrepreneur Training, a business development intensive that empowers working artists from multiple disciplines to see their creative practice through an entrepreneurial lens. The program provides tools and resources to artists from all disciplines, helping them to organize, plan, and sustain a creative career to develop an individualized business model based on their creative output.

Periscope CHA: Artist Entrepreneur Training is a program created by the Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville and initially conceived in partnership with the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, Metro Arts: Nashville’s Office of Arts + Culture, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Mayor’s Office of Economic & Community Development. Launched in 2014, Periscope is now in its 10th year in Nashville, and in 2021, expanded to rural communities across Tennessee with Periscope: Rural Artist Development. The inaugural Chattanooga cohort for Periscope CHA: Artist Entrepreneur Training will be the third iteration of this high-impact curriculum for creatives.

ArtsBuild will host an in-person information session on Thursday, August 3 at 5:30 p.m. at ArtsBuild (located at 301 E. 11th St., Chattanooga, TN 37403). The session will provide more information about the program, the application process, and important dates. Staff will be available to answer questions from potential applicants.
