Government-backed arts funding programs are often useful in helping artists to develop new work, but relying solely on them is a limited way to work. There are myriad ways to diversify your income streams and new work pipelines as an artist, depending on your work, practice, audiences and unique context.  

Feeling more financially stable in your practice also increases creativity - even more reason to explore some alternative ways of getting money in the door for your art! Commercial opportunities (and who’s buying!), funding, philanthropy, scalability, multi-platform thinking and more - we’ll cover it all with artists who are doing it right now.  

Hosted by our Artist Provocateur for the ArtKeeper program, Wesley Enoch AM (who’s also Deputy Chair of Creative Australia, the Australian Government’s principal arts investment and advisory body), with guest panelists, this will be an honest and insightful conversation to help you gain insights, strategies and knowledge on how to support your creative career. 

There’ll be plenty of time for questions and discussion, and you’ll also be able to connect with other artists and creatives before the event kicks off.  

Light refreshments provided, so please register to attend. Artists from all art forms welcome.
