ArtisticEntreComp
Many students choose to work as independent makers, artists, designers or performing artists after graduation. That’s why it’s important that, during your studies, you not only develop artistic skills but also learn how to work entrepreneurially. The ArtisticEntreComp model helps you do just that.
From European framework to arts education
You may have heard of EntreComp: the European framework that outlines the knowledge and skills needed for entrepreneurship. It shows that entrepreneurship is not only about starting a business, but also about thinking creatively, taking initiative and solving problems; no matter which professional field you enter. At ArtEZ, we translated this framework into the context of arts education. This is how the ArtisticEntreComp model came to life: a visual and accessible guide designed specifically for arts students.
A tool for your practice
ArtisticEntreComp clarifies which entrepreneurial skills you need as a maker or performer. The model serves as:
- a starting point for conversations in class or with a coach
- a tool for self-reflection: where do you stand now, and what could you still develop?
This helps you prepare for a sustainable professional practice in the arts.
