Lucrative and fun, art workshop centers are the answer to baby boomers who are approaching retirement. Years ago, when our parents and grandparents were retiring, the average life span into retirement was very short. But, we've learned how to live better lives. The generation of the baby boomer will live long into retirement. What will they do with all that time? Mainly, they'll look for an enjoying pastime that can turn a hobby into a supplemental income. In comes the art workshop center as the answer.

Even if you are not an artist, you can run an art workshop center with an artist on your staff. You provide the artist with a studio and an instructional schedule and your art workshop center has the prestige it needs. You are the business person. You have an in-house artist like a golf course has a professional player. Plus, you can enjoy the benefits of working with people and giving them a place to learn as well as exercise their passions for art. Imagine walking through your center in your paint-stained overcoat and shaking hands with others who are enjoying art as much as you are.

It's a perfect match for an artist and an entrepreneur. Artists have to study business in order to be very lucrative managing artists. But, they normally just want to practice art and teach art while others take care of the backend for them. As the baby boomer looking for a lucrative supplemental income or as the entrepreneur who is taking notice of the baby boomer need for a pastime, you can provide an artist with a great management opportunity.

The artist's work is sold in your door and you both profit from each sale. When your artist is asked to do a display by the art and culture leaders of your community, you will benefit from the promotion. Let the artist worry about the artistic end and you worry about the business end of everything. It's perfect for both of you.

Can you imagine a more rewarding endeavor as an art workshop center? Whether you are the baby boomer or just looking at this information for its entrepreneurial value, you can prosper either way. Open an art workshop for people who need art, want art and simply love art. Grab an artist to run the workshops. And you have a pastime that can turn a hobby into a supplemental income. Sometimes that supplemental income can overcome any other and become your main source of income. You just can't lose!
