This is a 4-part series. Artists are welcome to attend all or select sessions.
In this workshop, stage performers and tax specialists Amy Smith and Akeem Davis bring a class- and race-based analysis of our economic structures and dive into the financial building blocks necessary for artists to thrive. Over the course of four sessions, this workshop will demystify concepts and introduce fundamental financial tools to help participants—including those who “hate thinking about money”—make informed financial decisions for their long-term futures. Participants will leave empowered to make prudent financial decisions, with an abundance mindset. The workshop will be a mix of presentation and Q&A format.
Areas covered will include:
AUGUST 4 SESSION 1: Our relationship with money, and setting financial goals.
AUGUST 6 SESSION 2: How to value one’s time to build toward savings and retirement.
AUGUST 11 SESSION 3: Budgeting for your life and credit/debt management.
AUGUST 13 SESSION 4: An intro to investing, with an eye toward handling the unexpected and long-term planning.
This workshop is suitable for artists of all disciplines, at any point in their career, who are interested in learning or reviewing basic concepts of personal finances. 40 participants max.
Assets for Artists workshops are open to artists in MA, CT, RI, and ME. As part of the Arts Action Consortium Boston artists receive priority access to all A4A workshops.
