Money is NOT a Dirty Word

creative-business-money-is-not-a-dirty-word

 

BEGA NSW – Friday 8th November 2019, 1pm – 4pm

WAGGA NSW – Saturday 16th November 2019, 10am – 1pm

 

The starving artist is a pervasive idea, and in reality lots of creative people struggle in self-­employment because money is a constant battle. This isn’t always just due to lack of funds, however – creative practitioners sometimes just need the basics of business money and financial literacy explained in a way that makes sense.

This short and practical workshop helps creative freelancers and small arts organisations answer some of the biggest financial questions they might have:
• How do I weather the ups and downs of creative income?
• Do I have to keep working for free?
• What should I charge?
• What’s the deal with tax anyway?
• Where can I go for help?

What do I get?  All participants of this workshop also receive:

  • Printed materials to help in class;
  • Lifetime access to a dedicated Money dropbox folder full of additional resources and help;
  • Access to a dedicated webpage full of links and resources to help them get ahead in their creative business.

The workshop is relaxed and informal, you can ask all the questions you’ve never been able to ask before, and participants will also be given ample opportunity to network and get to know each other.

Who should attend?

This workshop is tailored specifically to creative people who are (or want to be) self-employed, and the activities are relevant no matter what your profession – filmmakers, writers, designers, visual artists, performers. Anyone can benefit from learning more about how to strategise to get what they want from creative business.

Who is Presenting?

Business advisor and creative industries expert Monica Davidson from the Creative Plus Business Group. Monica is a writer and filmmaker by trade who learned how to run a successful creative business and now shares that knowledge with others. In her workshops Monica helps creative people from all practices and professional stages figure out the basics of financial literacy, with the help of jokes, anecdotes and pictures. This surprisingly fun and informal workshop will leave participants feeling more confident about their financial situation, and provide an opportunity to ask all the questions they’ve always wanted to know. Watch Monica in action here.
