Denver has a pretty good one (www.denversbdc.org) - I took their NxLeveL Entrepreneurial Training a few years ago and would recommend it to artists without a business/marketing plan. They also offer quite a few other relevant classes. A helpful resource that some artists may overlook as too “business-y” is your local Small Business Development Center.

Afer 30 odd years of working in business, I know how to organize my files, my inventory, mailing list and accounting.
