A new programme run by the UCT Graduate School of Business (GSB) in association with the Observatory Community Centre begins on the 20th August 2007.

This potent 13 week course will prepare anyone working as a freelance creative (writer, musician, fine artist, photographer, actor or director) to stride confidently into the business of their craft. Business Acumen for Artists offers working artists the skills they often neglect to strengthen – those that help ensure their success.

Defined outcomes and mentoring through the duration of the course, and a clear motivation for inclusion make this a no-nonsense program for practical application.

PS. all proceeds of the full 13 week program go directly to nurturing a bastion of Cape Town’s art world – the Observatory Community Centre.

It is the age old debate – art versus business, money versus magic, selling out versus selling in.

In an attempt to collapse this questionable and dangerous distinction between business and creativity, the UCT Graduate School of Business (GSB) will be running a programme starting this August which helps artists develop the business acumen to step into their rightful commercial space without necessarily selling out their artistic integrity.

Delegates on the course will be exposed to some of the best business minds teaching at the GSB including top international visiting lecturers who will be in Cape Town in August to teach on the School’s Executive Leadership Programme.
