Austin’s creatives already know how to make art, but how do you turn that passion into a thriving business?
On this episode of City At Your Service, we sit down with Austin Economic Development’s Artist Career Training Program team to talk about helping local artists level up with mentorship, marketing, funding opportunities, AI tools, and real-world business skills. From “starving artist” to successful entrepreneur, this program is helping keep Austin creative and sustainable.
In addition, we'll hear stories from longtime Austin artist mentor Anthony Camargo, feel a little nostalgia for old-school Austin weirdness, and take a look at how today’s creatives are shaping the city’s future.
Whether you’re a musician, painter, jewelry maker, designer, or even a Jell-O artist (!), this episode is packed with inspiration and practical advice.
