Accounting for Artists

This is the building block of your business practice! Learn to create a budget, understand your reporting, software options, how and when to pay taxes, and when you need a business entity. Bring your questions!

CAC's Professional Development series works to uncover subjects critical to professional artists outside of making art.

Rooted in our core values of knowledge-sharing and building community, this 90-minute seminar will include 30 minutes of conversation with participants. Bring your experience and your questions to the group!

Participants may only attend via Zoom. Registration is required.

Tuesday, October 28th 12p-2p

$10 for the general public
$5 for CAC alumni
FREE for current residents (Registration still required)
