The Artist:Entrepreneur Day from the Featured Artists Coalition and CMU:DIY will be staged in Belfast on Sunday 18, in partnership with Help Musicians NI.

It’s the first time the artist-led education day – which provides a practical guide for artists on building a business around their music – has taken place in Northern Ireland.

Once again the day will be led by a team of artist entrepreneurs who will open up their own artist businesses and explain how they generate revenue, how they went about building a fanbase and a brand, and what business partners they have worked with along the way.

Those conversations are accompanied by a series of Artist:Entrepreneur Guides presented by CMU:DIY’s Chris Cooke, plus a number of music industry guests will answer the questions of both the host artists and all the grass roots artists and songwriters in the audience.

The Belfast edition of Artist:Entrepreneur Day takes place at The Black Box on Hill St on Sunday 18 Nov.

See the MU discount page for a member discount code to claim 50% off the full ticket price (normal price £10).

For more information on the artists and industry people who will be appearing during the day, see the Artist:Entrepreneur Day website.
