Our team has created a program that provides artist entrepreneurs with the right digital knowledge and skills to compete in a rapidly changing marketplace. While the sector has experienced major challenges recently, our community is creative and resilient. We believe that arts and culture breathe life into our country, cities, and communities; and our objective is to pave the way for an even stronger comeback.
LEVEL UP is presented by the Latin Sparks Festival, an annual celebration of Latin American dance, music, food, and culture; attracting tens of thousands of festival goers from across Canada and the US.
Problem.
Our team created Level UP to fill a major gap in the arts and culture sector. There is outstanding talent out there, but artists and arts organizations often lack access to business knowledge and technology skills that can make or break their careers. Artists work long and hard to develop their unique craft, however they often struggle to turn their talents into prosperous careers. We believe that artists breathe life into our world, and we want to see them thrive financially.
Solution.
Level UP is here to provide accessible resources in business and technology for artists and arts organizations. Our programs are intended to provide tangible and practical knowledge and skills that can be applied to the real world. We’re here to offer artists not just the inspiration, but the know-how and tools to build a sustainable business or career.
