This online workshop brings the fundamentals of Artists U (planning, finances, time management, mission) to this complex moment. The transitions out of lockdown offer big opportunities and challenges for artists. Now is a powerful moment to begin imagining and planning what is next for our work, our lives, and our communities.

+ We will meet on Zoom four Mondays in a row, 6:00-8:00 pm. We will take breaks, we will breathe. We will build a positive, rigorous conversation about building balanced and sustainable lives as artists.

+ You will get assignments between each session. Plan on an hour or two each week.

+ We will use the Artists U books: Making Your Life as an Artist and the MAKING Workbook. You can download them here.
