Artist INC What Works + KC Alumni Panel

Posted April 30, 2026

Wednesday, May 13 from 6-8 PM

What Works is a free workshop sharing the common behaviors of artists with enduring practices. It speaks directly to artists’ concerns in building sustainable careers from the artist’s point of view. These behaviors have been identified by the thousands of artists of all disciplines participating in the Artist INC program over the past fifteen years.

The concepts shared in the What Works workshop are the foundation of Artist INC program. Artist Peer Facilitators José Faus and Cory Imig will explain the core concepts and illustrate them with their personal and professional examples, leaving participating artists ready to apply them to their own practices.

The workshop includes discussion of:

Goal setting and planning
Portfolio careers and multiple income streams
Communications
Strategic networking
Financial planning
and more

The two hour workshop will include audience Q&A as well as a panel with Artist INC alumni. Information on applying for the Artist INC Kansas City 2026 cohort will also be available.

What Works is presented in collaboration with Mid-America Arts Alliance.
