ONLINE (NSW): Cashflow for Creatives

March 18 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

A woman with curly hair is sitting at a white desk, intently working with documents and a pen. The desk is organized with a modern white lamp, a container holding various writing utensils, and a few notepads. The background is minimalistic and clean. In the bottom right corner, there is a logo for Service NSW Business Connect, indicating an approved provider. The setting suggests a focused and productive work environment.

Making a living from your craft means learning, understanding and embracing the flow of money in and out of your practice.

Financial literacy and concepts like ‘cashflow’ are necessities for creative practitioners and arts workers who want to take their passion to a professional level. ‘Cashflow for Creatives’ is a free, online workshop designed by creative practitioners to help other artists understand and embrace the rollercoaster of income and expenses that comes with working in the arts. It’s a safe space where every question is welcome, and the mysteries of money will become a little clearer.
