Artrepreneurship: Montana Arts Council program helps teach folk artists to market their work

This past year, the Montana Arts Council http://art.mt.gov/ offered a select group of artists in the Bitterroot, Flathead, Melstone and Fort Belnap the opportunity to learn how to turn their passion into a sustainable business.

Each cohort involved at least six artists who were willing to commit their time, talent and money to the intense programming. In return, artists learned about marketing, pricing, business law and the potential of the Internet for selling their wares.
