Creatives Thrive Workshop #4: How to heal your relationship with money
Thurs, April 16, 2026 at 1pm ET
Artists and money have a complicated relationship. You’re often caught between “if you make money from your art, you’re a sellout” and “if you don’t make a living off your art, are you really an artist?” Very few professions have such contradictory measures for success, so money conversations can be emotionally charged and difficult to have ❤️🩹
You are experts at creating something out of nothing and finding the beauty in hard things. You have dedicated your life’s work to doing things radically different and bringing your community with you. You push the edge so the center moves too. And your family still has no idea what your “job” is 🙃 We see you. We know you. We are you. Start healing your relationship with money so you can be the artist the world needs you to be.

IN PERSON IN NYC! Paperwork Party with ARC at BAAD!
Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 1-5pm
Money in Motion: Dive into a series of specialized workshops on banking, budgeting, credit, savings and more—real tools, real strategy, no shame. Money in Motion offers an afternoon of financial workshops designed to empower artists and creatives. You’ll receive information, resources, and real-time activities to move you forward toward your financial goals. The afternoon will also feature a Paperwork Party with Pam Capalad and Dyalekt, offering practical support and collective energy to tackle the forms, finances, and administrative tasks that artists often put off—together, with guidance and no shame.
Bring the paperwork you’ve been dreading. We’ll provide a supportive, low-stress space and expert guidance to help you move things forward. Come as you are, bring what you have, and leave with more clarity and fewer loose ends.
Some ideas for what you can do: Apply for a new credit card or loan • Open an IRA or other investment account • Write a budget for a grant application • Review your credit report • Switch banks • Open a high yield savings account • Create cash flow projections • Fill out student loan forms
Schedule
1:00 - 1:45 Philosophy, Banking & Budgeting | 2:00 - 2:45 Credit & Debt, Retirement and Care | 3:00 -5:00 Paperwork Party -
Artist Resource Collective Webinar: Why Is It So Hard To Save?
Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 6pm ET
What if we told you that the ability to save money has nothing to do with willpower and discipline and everything to do with your relationship to money? In this webinar, you will learn the systemic reasons why it’s hard to save, dispel common savings myths, learn the neuroscience behind money memories, and examine your own relationship with saving or not saving money.

Creatives Thrive Workshop #5: How to pay down your debt and still have a life
Thurs, May 21, 2026 at 1pm ET
We’re just going to say it - this is the workshop that everyone signs up for but no one shows up for. We all have debt and we all think we’re the only ones who have it. The reality is, the credit and debt system is designed to keep you in their game for as long as possible. And the big cloud over this whole system is the blame and shame we’ve been fed because we “should have known better.” We’ll show you how the entire country systemically got pushed into debt and how you can manage your debt and still have a life.

Creatives Thrive Get Shameless Community Hour
Thurs, June 18, 2026 at 1pm ET
We renamed Office Hours to Community Hours because well, I haven't had an office in over 10 years, never went to office hours in college, and really, this space has become such a wonderful time for us to come together and practice collective care. Come-as-you-are is your contribution.
