Thus, an innovative platform for all creatives from North Rhine-Westphalia is created again within the founding week of Germany and invited to the state capital for a lively Tete-A-Tet.

But it is also important to create offers that support small companies in competition."
According to the organizers, the NRW.Kreativ loan is a step in the right direction, since so far many good ideas have failed to procure capital.

In order to secure your own existence, it is essential to make money with art . In fact, contrary to the majority perception, many artists can live well from their creative work these days. Nevertheless, a vast majority of all freelance artists are dependent on further sources of income (e.g. giving courses, order work, part -time jobs, etc.).
