Let's Talk Money - AOCA April Workshop

Money touches every part of our creative lives, yet so many artists are left navigating it alone. This workshop is an honest and empowering three‑part workshop created for working artists, creative entrepreneurs, and cultural builders shaping lives rooted in creative practice.
What to Expect:
This workshop offers a reframing of money as a creative tool rather than a barrier, practical financial wisdom designed for artists, grant‑writing fundamentals you can build from, and supportive space to ask questions, reflect, and grow together. See our line up of speakers and agenda below.

Date: Saturday, April 18th
Time: 10AM - 3PM
Location: 224 EcoSpace, 224 Farmington Ave. Hartford, CT
Entrance: Enter through the EAST entrance.
Parking: Free parking in 224 marked spots only. See light posts for signs or use the parking guide provided below to avoid towing.
Open to all. Registration required!

Info: A shame-free money mindset reset for artists of color ready to claim their value. This workshop helps you identify and release the beliefs that keep you under-asking, over-giving, or playing small so you can own your worth, speak about your value with ease, and get paid like the value creator you are.

Info: This financial wellness workshop is designed specifically for artists and creatives who want to gain control over their money, reduce financial stress, and make empowered decisions that support their artistic careers and personal lives.

Artists often face unique financial challenges, irregular income, project-based payments, and a lack of traditional financial support systems. This session offers real-world tools and frameworks to help creatives budget smarter, build consistent savings habits, and understand how credit and debt impact future opportunities (including funding, housing, and business growth).

Info: In this workshop, Andre will walk you through a grant template designed to prepare you for what to expect when writing project grants to support creative work with arts organizations. Grant writing can be intimidating, and although not all grants are created equally, it helps to have a template to build from. This workshop will cover basic information you need to know when writing your first grant proposals.
