Pro Active Resolutions supporting arts entrepreneurs in Leicestershire

Pro Active Resolutions is delighted to be supporters of the Curve Young Arts Entrepreneurs scheme (YAE), as providing business advice and support to creative businesses forms a core part of our work.

Creative and arts based clients have been one of our specialities since our launch in 1995, and since then we have helped scores of people turn their artistic talent into a sustainable business.

What makes Pro Active Resolutions special is that we understand the specific needs of arts based clients and offer tailored accountancy and management services, as well as arts focussed business training programmes, to help them achieve business as well as artistic success.

Acting as a “business friend” we aim to let arts entrepreneurs focus on the creative outputs of their business, keeping the administration and trading decisions as straightforward and easy to manage as possible.

Citizen598

Citizen598 is a Creative Arts organisation that primarily uses live performance and film to tell stories. Working with a range of clients and on a wide variety of projects, Citizen598 explores exciting ways for people of all ages and backgrounds to be involved in the creative process of making performance or film. The work has involved workshops, short films, documentaries, youth theatre and partnerships with schools, universities and museums. Director Nathan Human has enjoyed the challenge of Curve's Young Arts Entrepreneurs Programme: "The exciting aspect of the YAE project is to not only assist young people in improving their existing skills but to also help them identify the business and career opportunities they can possibly aspire to. Some of the ideas, skill and passion we've seen is certainly encouraging, not just for this programme but also for arts provision for the Communities of Leicester. The fact the programme is led by the dedicated staff at a renowned venue such as Curve, can also help to inspire those who have taken this opportunity."
