streams of revenue!
On April 28th at 5:30pm, Entrepreneur in Residence at RMIT, Marcus

funding exists and offer a new way for artists, writers, actors,
musicians, sculptors, singers and dancers to create revenues,
different choices for growth and perhaps gain economic independence,
while remaining true to their art.
