History

In the late 1990s the AHK started to develop teaching material about the business aspects of the artistic profession. The first site was developed under the name ‘The enterprising Artist’. With the collaboration of Kunstenaars&CO it became www.BeroepKunstenaar.nl in 2003. The AHK has been maintaining and developing this site on its own since July 2009. More information on entrepreneurship education at the Amsterdam University of the Arts: AHK.nl/entrepreneurship.

The predecessors of the present site received financial support from:

  • the Entrepreneurship and Education scheme, the Ministry of Economic Affairs
  • the ICT for non-ICT courses scheme, in collaboration with the Arts Education Sectoral Advisory Board of the Higher Professional Education Council
