The Business of Art is Nevada County Arts Council’s professional development initiative for the creative sector.
Since 2020, this one-day symposium has brought together artists, performers, designers, writers, and cultural leaders to explore creative entrepreneurship, policy, and practice.
With each year, we deepen our commitment to meaningful dialogue, skill-sharing, and rural-urban exchange. The 2025 symposium will be our boldest yet—packed with visionary keynotes, practical workshops, and vibrant community.
