Seneca College launching entrepreneurial illustration program

Seneca College in Toronto is launching an  illustration program with a twist beginning in January. The twist is entrepreneurial -- students will not only learn illustration, they'll also register their own small businesses, have a working website and learn accounting, marketing and revenue generating skills to succeed as entrepreneurial artists, according to a release from the college.

“Illustration is a competitive industry and in order to succeed, artists need to have the entrepreneurial skills to market themselves and their art,” said JoAnn Purcell, Co-ordinator, Independent Illustration.
