Art-Up: Artists in Business

Trumpeter Devina Boughton hails from the United States. After their Fulbright exchange year, staying in Finland seemed like the right path forward. In the autumn of 2022, they participated in the Uniarts Hub pre-incubator program, which gave them the tools to establish a business. Devina wants to continue working as a musician, composer, arranger, and music teacher.

Thinking about applying to Uniarts Hub? Here’s why you should do it.  

Jussi Puukka, who graduated as a music educator, wants to help companies develop their operations through the means of art. He was looking for support to start his own company by participating in the twelve-week Uniarts Hub pre-incubator program in autumn 2022.

Musician, composer and researcher Dominik Schlienger has just finished his doctoral project in the music technology department at the Sibelius Academy. In autumn 2022, he participated in the Uniarts Hub pre-incubator program, where he developed his non-profit organization focused on carbon-neutral concert venue technology. He considers Uniarts Hub a good introduction to the business world.

The first edition of the brand new Uniarts Hub pre-incubator programme culminated in the Demo Day event in Theatre Academy’s Tori on November 16th, 2022.

Uniarts Hub pre-incubator programme was launched this fall. We need more discussion around art entrepreneurship and the ways of doing business in art, project manager Kati Uusi-Rauva writes.
