Over the past year, your creative practice may have changed, which means your financial life may have changed as well. You may have collected unemployment, you may have incurred new expenses migrating online, and you may have found new audiences for your work.

The online workshop will provide an overview of the financial implications of the COVID-19 outbreak, including articulating some tangible strategies for coping with the ongoing uncertainty. Specifically we’ll cover:

• Re-defined creative value in your practice.
• Opportunities that fall within each role of the portfolio career framework.
• Budgeting for new (and uncertain) expenses, including taxes.
