Empowering The Next Generation of Artists
SAEN’s arts management training supports a wide range of creative disciplines, including performing arts (theater, dance, and music), visual arts (painting, street art, and digital design), media arts (film, photography, and AI-generated content), and literary arts (poetry, playwriting, and screenwriting). Our programs equip artists and arts managers with the skills to navigate event production, intellectual property, brand development, fundraising, and digital engagement. By embracing both traditional and emerging art forms, SAEN prepares creatives to sustain their work, protect their rights, and thrive as cultural entrepreneurs in today’s evolving artistic landscape.

Fundraising Initiatives
What Your Contribution Can Help Us Accomplish Today!
We urgently need funding now for two key initiatives that are central to SAEN’s mission. First, we are raising funds to cover the remaining costs of our upcoming fundraising showcase event, including the venue deposit, production expenses, and artist performances—an essential opportunity to raise awareness, build community, and reach our $20,000 goal. Second, we need immediate support to sustain our Readiness Program, which provides artists with business training, mentorship, and project development tools through internships—empowering them to build lasting, purpose-driven careers. Internships award candidates with a $1000.00 stipend.
