Part 1: How to Kickstart Your Own Creative Business Journey

Crip Livelihoods: Creative Skills Workshops for Deaf and Disabled Artists

Promo image for "Part 1: How to Kickstart Your Own Creative Business Journey."

November 8th @ 12 - 1:30pm ET | Online [Zoom]

We're hosting an accessible workshop designed for Deaf and Disabled artists who are ready to turn their dreams into reality.

Led by Clary Chambers (she/her), a passionate advocate for Disability arts, this two-part workshop series will help you move the dream needle from "One day, I'll launch my business" to "I'm starting today!" 

Whether you aim to be an independent illustrator, sell your art online, or start your own company, Clary will guide you through the essential steps to build a strong personal brand. Learn how to create accessible business assets like a website, social media presence, brand photos, a logo, and how to gather testimonials that build trust.

This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your network and develop tools that support your journey as a Deaf or Disabled artist.

Both workshops are part of our fall/winter programming Crip Livelihoods, a series of online accessible skills workshops designed by and for Deaf and Disabled Creatives.

Register for this workshop here!

Participants are strongly encouraged to register for both sessions. You can save your spot in Part 2's workshop here.
