The Independent Artist’s Playbook: A Guide to Sustainable Career Planning

Today’s independent artists aren't just visionaries, they are project managers, strategists, content creators and decision-makers. Designed as a focused 90-minute masterclass, this interactive session will explore practical self-management techniques to help musicians achieve clarity, structure and long-term success without burning out. Participants will discover how to build a flexible network of sparring partners to exchange ideas with, as an alternative to traditional management. The workshop will also cover how artists can build a foundational identity and gain skills in realistic planning, accessing opportunities and establishing sustainable workflows. There will also be an exchange into how AI tools can support day-to-day operations.
