About this Workshop
As a creative, one of the biggest struggles can be measuring and understanding your worth as an artist. In this 1.5 hour workshop, artist D.A. Navoti will walk participants through identifying and honoring their unique skillsets and areas of expertise, brainstorming strategies to expand one’s income revenues, and using that process to craft a plan for creative longevity, sustainability, and productivity. D.A. will cover tips and approaches to pricing work, negotiating pay rates, and considerations when booking opportunities based in one’s worth and skillsets. Participants will leave feeling empowered to make career decisions rooted in their worth as a creative, and build a long-term and sustainable creative practice.
