Nebraska Artists Complete Business Training Program

22 artists from Omaha and Lincoln artists recently participated in a series of weekly workshops called Artist INC Live Omaha.

Singer/songwriter Kait Berreckman was one of the participants. She says the program addresses the business needs and challenges artists face. 

Berreckman says the sessions helped her become more accountable and take her career a little more seriously.  But she says the biggest benefit of the program for her was the connections she made with other artists.

"We got so much out of just talking to and supporting each other and just having an honest place to share our issues and not be worried about what other people are thinking about us.  Just the connections we made was one of the biggest things I got out of it.”

Berreckman says the program does a good job of debunking the myths that surround the ways artists work and run their businesses.

Participants in Artist INC Live Omaha were selected through a competitive application process. 

Each artist was judged on the artistic quality of their work, their career goals, and their overall readiness for the program.
