PRO Level Membership Has Its Benefits!
Special Pro Offer | What You Get
Thank you for visiting our special Membership page about our upcoming Business Momentum Workshop [BMW] “Writing Your Arts-Based Business Plan” and PRO Level Membership in the Working Artists Network.
Although WAN offers different Membership Levels, the one considered most valuable is the PRO Level. How do we know this? Over 80% of our members are PRO Level and they are by far the most active in participating in our workshops, benefits programs and events.
WAN exists to empower artists (in any genre) and other independently employed creative professionals, and is the one of the few national business associations offering programs, services, workshops, courses, and marketing/sales opportunities for working artists like you that best support you in creating a sustainable business and lifestyle.

If you are serious about your arts-based business, a good business plan is THE navigational tool that can get you where you intend to go.

The workshop includes the ACTION PLAN workbook, handouts, worksheets (in WORD, EXCEL and PDF), resource lists including contact info for free or discounted services from WAN’s appropriate Preferred Providers.
