Art career just starting out?
At an impasse with your studio practice?
Want to quit your day job and spend more time making work?

Join LA-based author and business consultant Amy Davila, founder of ArtSmart, in conversation with artist Hayley Barker, LA-based artist, and Corrina Peipon, principal of Continuous Project and co-founder of Contemporary Art League (CAL). Together they will share the experience and paths of artists toward financial stability.

Amy will introduce her newly published book, The ArtSmart Method; a Guide to Business Autonomy for Artists, and then welcome your burning questions about achieving financial peace of mind with your creative practice.

The ArtSmart Method draws on Amy’s 25 years of working with artists at all stages of their careers. It offers an accessible and insightful mix of financial advising, business and career consulting, and constructive advice, whether you’re trying to harness an idea, generate income, negotiate with collaborators and galleries, or grow your practice.
