Helping Artists and Artisans Grow Their Businesses, Their Way

Artists think differently than most entrepreneurs. That’s because their not just selling any item – they are sharing their art. When it comes to growing their businesses, it can be a struggle to market and promote their craft in the right way. Our classes and workshops are designed specifically for artists and artisans.

Artists Can Thrive in Their Own Community

WVA Members thrive at home in West Virginia when they have the support and resources necessary from their community.
