RISD's Artrepreneur Kit




So you just graduated and after experiencing the highest high, you’re in the lull of the next step. Rhode Island School of Design is hoping to inspire and direct their most recent alumni with a unique and inspiring package: The Artrepreneur Kit.

The kit includes a number of tools to help artists and designers present their portfolios, take credit card payments and market their work online – for example, a card reader made by Square, Inc. that plugs into a mobile phone and allows users to process credit card payments anywhere. Other goodies include a free trial with Behance’s new online portfolio site Prosite, an Action Journal and a discount with the file transfer site YouSendIt.

“With our Artrepreneur Kit, we are providing new grads with just a few of the online tools and resources that can help launch their work in the public spectrum,” notes President John Maeda. “It’s just one way to help them make a living in whatever way they choose.”
