We are in the early stages of developing an arts entrepreneurship conference for Spring 2027! This will be a two-day conference that connects arts business owners across the region to resources designed to help your arts business succeed.

Intended for current and future arts entrepreneurs, these sessions include topics such as financial literacy training, sound marketing strategies, managing arts emergencies, arts-related social enterprises, and more.

The conference will be on a First Friday Art Walk weekend, and will showcase businesses located in downtown Zanesville for attendees from out of town.
