ARTSELERATE
Artselerate is a unique combination of business incubator, start-up accelerator, creative collaboration, and networking opportunity that creates a fast and practical approach to business and strategic planning specifically for creative practitioners and arts organisations.
Artselerate helps participants complete their strategic business and marketing plans, with practical actions ready to be implemented, and creates a continued connection with other creative professionals through a guided peer mentoring program and ongoing access to industry experts and resources.
Here’s what to expect if you join us for Artselerate:

- Participation in our guided ‘Buddy’ peer support program

And a whole lot more.
Phew! So much goodness jam packed into one program.
Artselerate is a program designed for creative practitioners at any stage of their professional development—it’s a safe and structured melting pot of experiences, attitudes, and ideas to get your planning done!
You could be…
- An individual artist or maker from any area of the creative industry
- A recent graduate or fledgling freelancer just getting started
- Someone representing a small creative organisation or arts not-for-profit
