This workshop (led by CFA Artist Lecturer Monica Yunus) helps arts entrepreneurs explore their relationship with money, as well as their future goals around money. While money may seem to be a fairly straightforward concept, our different feelings towards money’s role in our own communities, our personal histories with money, and our ideals as artists can lead us to want to have very different relationships with the money we make through our art. As such, this workshop will help us reflect on our past experiences with money, as well as prompt us to imagine how we want to handle the money that we make through our art.
