Financial Fundamentals for Artists – Free Workshop!

Creative minds may legitimately enjoy art for art’s sake, but some must rely on their work to bring home the groceries. The path to sustainability involves assembling essential business knowledge and applying the principles when making decisions that impact the work and your livelihood. This two-part introduction lays the groundwork for understanding small business financial fundamentals so you can temper decisions with a balanced eye toward the long term. Whether you are a visual artist, performer or educator hoping to make your passion pay the bills, the truth is you need the same knowledge as the owner of any small business. Free, but registration is required. Networking 6-6:30 pm, Program 6:30-8:30 pm (both days). Presented in collaboration with the CT Office of the Arts, the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County, and the Housatonic Museum of Art.
