November Client of the Month: Cecilia Mejia
Cecilia Mejia studied architecture at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico UNAM, located in Mexico City. From a very young age, she was attracted to design and the creation of spaces and objects. At the end of her studies, she dedicated herself to pursue her dream of creating her own line of furniture and objects for home decor. Upon her arrival in Montreal, she came across ceramics, which she has developed to create a line of objects that speak of her roots in a more contemporary way.
YES featured on Global Montreal Morning Show
In case you missed it, our Executive Director, Aki Tchitacov joined Laura Casella on Global Montreal’s Morning Show to speak about our services and our impact on the community. The segment also featured YES Board Member, Josef Azam (CEO | Design Shoppe) who spoke about the impact that YES had on his own life.
Monetization for Artists
As an artist, chances are you spend a lot of money creating your work. Your financial plan includes expenses like promotion, venue costs, hires, and artist fees…but where does the revenue come from?
Having a plan and a timeline in place before launching your art-based business is key to understanding whether your cashflow is positive, or if you’re going to need some extra cash and need to consider taking out a loan or saving money first.
September Client of the Month: Véronique Leduc
