Creative Money: Financial Literacy/Home-buying Workshops

 

ArtHome’s CreativeMoney workshops and self-assessment tools help artists chart a course to financial literacy, viability and home ownership. Designed by and for active artists, CreativeMoney utilizes the proven expertise of a board of financial advisors and the real world experience of 21st century art making. CreativeMoney workshops are co-designed with partners needing financial programming with a clear artist-centric focus.

CreativeMoney addresses artists’ financial needs on artists’ terms.

Our materials are plainspoken and accessible. Our self-assessment tools are built around real world artists’ budgets and refer directly to the working methods and career strategies common to each arts discipline.

Sample workshops:

  • BFA: Basic Finance for Artists program and Artist’s Summer Institute- The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council
  • Savings and Homeownership Workshops for Artists as part of Berkshire County Match Grant Savings Program/IDA- Assets for Artists
  • Homeownership 101- New York Foundation for the Arts
  • Financial Solvency for Artists- DIY Days Philadelphia

 

Past Partners include: AlJira, The Creative Capital Foundation, and others.
