Course overview

This ten-week cohort programme gives practitioners, artists, coaches, and facilitators the practical foundations they need to build businesses that support — rather than consume — their creative practice. Each week combines teaching with peer discussion and application. You leave each session with actionable steps, and your accountability group keeps you on track between sessions.

The programme is grounded in the Kenyan legal and financial context — not imported templates, but frameworks designed for the specific regulatory, tax, and market environment practitioners in Kenya actually operate in.

Build a creative business that genuinely sustains your life and practice — covering legal structure, financial health, ethical marketing, and long-term sustainability for artists and practitioners.
