New! 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.
Cocktails and Career Conversations Open House on September 28th
We’re inviting you to the YES Centre for an evening of fun, food, beverages, and conversation!
Come to 666 rue Sherbrooke St. W, Suite 700, between 3 PM-6 PM and meet the team, view our computer lab and our library, as well as all the other resources available to you! Or simply stop by to say hi (we miss seeing you in person), grab a slice of pizza and have a glass of wine, all on us. We’ll be holding a raffle and free 15-minute career coaching sessions, so you don’t want to miss out! And bring a friend (or two!) who may be looking to upgrade their job search skills or simply need help in planning their next steps.
