The Artist Resource Center at the Dougherty offers a series of monthly professional development workshops designed to empower and support Austin artists.

Each month, workshops cover a different aspect of the arts industry, equipping participants with invaluable tools to propel their careers forward. All workshops are free and open to the public.  

The Artist Professional Development workshop series began as in-house presentations led by Dougherty staff in 2018 and quickly evolved into a dynamic platform featuring guest speakers and collaborators from various backgrounds.

Since 2018, the series has hosted 52 workshops with 47 speakers representing 22 organizations, and 1,200 participants. Participant feedback through surveys demonstrated that 100% of participants say they learned something new from the workshops.
