Business News CMU:DIY Update Education & Events

By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 8 June 2022

Don’t forget that there are two in-person editions of the Artist:Entrepreneur Day coming up in the next few weeks – one in Hull and one in Southampton. This is the artist-led educational programme from the Featured Artists Coalition and CMU:DIY.

Each edition sees three FAC artist entrepreneurs open up their individual artist businesses, explaining how they make money from their music-making. CMU’s Chris Cooke is also on hand to present a series of A:E Guides on the different music revenues, while a team of industry experts offer practical advice and insights for how artists can grow their own artist businesses.

The Hull edition of A:E Day takes place at Social on Saturday 25 Jun from 11am to 4pm, with artist entrepreneurs Elle Chante, Stewart Baxter (LIFE) and Katie Spencer. Click here for information or to access free tickets.

The Southampton edition takes place at The Stage Door on Saturday 2 Jul from 11am to 4pm, with artist entrepreneurs WREN, Russell Marsden (Band Of Skulls) and Benny Bizzie. Click here for information or to access free tickets.

As well as attending in person, people can also opt to tune in to a livestream of each event.
