Looking to reshape your artistic financial life? Most artists rely on a mix of earned and contributed income sources to support their creative goals, and that mix can change over time as opportunities change. Join us to explore potential earning possibilities beyond the conventional realms of art sales and commissions. We’ll dive into the world of consultancy, membership models, collaborations, and rentals – innovative avenues to amplify your income from expertise. We’ll consider how resource pooling, sharing spaces, tools, and equipment can contribute to our mutual capacity and sustainability. We will help you weigh the pros and cons of grants and side gigs, so you can decide where to focus your energy while staying true to your creative mission.
