We will talk about:
- The role of artists, our impact and value.
- Planning, i.e. setting long-term intentions, the most powerful tool for sustaining as an artist.
- Time design: identifying and prioritizing the time your art practice needs, doing fewer things better, and tackling all that administrative work.
- Financial thinking for artists: Knowing your time cost (hour, day, and week), understanding revenue streams, negotiating, debt, home buying, and how artists can reach beyond solvency to stability and security.
- Your mission: What audiences, communities, and impacts matter most in your work? We will work individually and with a partner to generate language around your practice and mission, not just what you create but why it matters to you and why it matters to your communities, publics, and audiences.
The Details:
We will take breaths and breaks. There will be writing prompts and time for discussion. We will use Making Your Life as an Artist and the Making Workbook.
