Event Description

Selling original work is just one piece of the puzzle. Teaching, licensing, commissions, corporate work, residencies, prizes - the artists who build lasting careers tend to combine several of these in ways that feel natural to their practice and realistic for their lives. But knowing where to start, what to prioritise, and how to make it work alongside your creative output is another thing entirely. In this free Art Caf session, three speakers who have built genuinely sustainable practices will talk honestly about what multiple income streams actually look like in the real world - what works, what doesn't, and what they wish they had known sooner. What we will cover How to identify the income streams that are right for your practice - not just the ones everyone talks about How to price confidently across different types of work and different audiences How to build visibility that opens doors to commissions, corporate work, and teaching opportunities How to manage multiple strands of income without losing focus on the work itself. Who is this for? Any artist who wants to move beyond relying on a single source of income - whether you are just starting to think about this or ready to take the next step. Early-career and established artists both welcome.
