Join us for an interactive workshop where we will cover the basics of operations and financial management for artists. We’ll break down common financial terms, walk through a practical budgeting and planning template, and explore how to track expenses, and plan for profitability.

We’ll follow the journeys of two featured artists to show how these tools come to life.

What you'll leave with:

• A fill-in-the-blank financial template made for artists
• Tools to better manage your creative operations
• Real-world examples for both service and product-based businesses
• Space to ask questions and connect with fellow creatives

This session is ideal for artists at any stage looking to bring clarity and confidence to the business side of their practice.

Thanks to the folks from Alliance for Digital Equity, we will have a Digital Navigator Hannah Cox with us to help answer your tech questions. After the workshop you can book one on one follow up sessions at Northampton Open Media or drop in during their open hours.

We are grateful to the Community Foundation of Western MA and the Barr Foundation for their support of this program.
