Artists U

Sustaining in a Time of Change:

A Workshop by and for Artists

Based on fifteen years of work with artists locally and nationally, artist leaders Andrew Simonet and Michaela Pilar Brown will build conversations and offer tools for making a balanced, sustainable artist life.

This workshop is an opportunity to build clarity around your artistic practice and the resources that sustain it. It is community organizing, creating positive and rigorous conversations across artistic disciplines, ages, and cultures. And it is specific and practical: the principles, tools, and prompts artists use to make sustainable lives and to make the art and impact that matters most to them.

This workshop is free. Early registration is now open to museum members. Registration for non-members will begin on October 1. Want to become a museum member? Click here.

We will talk about:

  • The role of artists, our impact and value.
  • Planning, i.e. setting long-term intentions, the most powerful tool for sustaining as an artist.
  • Time design: identifying and prioritizing the time your art practice needs, doing fewer things better, and tackling all that administrative work.
  • Financial thinking for artists: Knowing your time cost (hour, day, and week), understanding revenue streams, negotiating, debt, home buying, and how artists can reach beyond solvency to stability and security.
  • Your mission: What audiences, communities, and impacts matter most in your work? We will work individually and with a partner to generate language around your practice and mission, not just what you create but why it matters to you and why it matters to your communities, publics, and audiences.

The Details:


We will take breaths and breaks. There will be writing prompts and time for discussion. We will use Making Your Life as an Artist and the Making Workbook.
