Build your music career and make your music work
Sign up for FREE online professional development in March 2024 for musicians at all stages of their careers from Artist INC. Workshops are limited to 20 participants each, and we expect them to sell out.
Building a business or career around a music practice isn’t like building any other small business. Musicians face different challenges.
Unlike other entrepreneur- and business-focused classes, Artist INC is tailored for the needs and challenges of working musicians of any genre. Musicians learn and grow together in small groups led by peer facilitators.
These workshops immediately activate a network of musicians in the community leading to additional peer-to-peer resource sharing and support, long after the workshop concludes.
Led by professional musician facilitators, the intensive nine-hour workshop addresses the specific professional needs and challenges that musicians face.
All sessions are online. For more details, and to register, click below.
Artist INC Express- Music: March 19-21, online, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., in partnership with New Mexico Music Commission.

Music Commissioner Sullivan Peraino
Bio
Sullivan is currently the Director of Executive Relations at the Santa Fe Opera, working to bring the joy of live performance and classical music to northern New Mexico. Having entered arts administration from the travel industry, Sullivan has a keen appreciation for how experiences, like opera, can generate tourism, fuel local economies and drive job creation.
In 2020, Sullivan worked at the center of the Santa Fe Opera’s efforts to weather the first season cancellation in its 63-year history. During this time, the importance of relationships with government leaders, public health experts and peers in the performing arts became paramount. The opera joined a coalition of music organizations to share information and discuss best practices in preparation for reopening, resulting in shared successes and celebration as the arts collectively returned to the stage in 2021. Sullivan centers this spirit of collaboration in her work as a member of the Music Commission – uniting musicians, performing arts organizations and venues across the state to meet the challenges of the future.
