SUMMARY:Pay Your Bills With Your Art
DESCRIPTION:Turn Your Art Into Income: Learn How to Pay Your Bills With Your Creative Practice\nPay Your Bills With Your Art is a hands-on workshop designed for artists who want to earn sustainable income from their creative work. When people talk about choosing art as a career\, the first question is often\, “How will you pay your bills?” This workshop offers practical answers. \nMaking a living as an artist is possible\, but it requires strategy\, intention\, and consistency. In this session\, you’ll learn how to build a brand\, position your work\, and create income opportunities that align with your artistic values. \nBuild a Sustainable Income From Your Art\nThis workshop explores real-world strategies artists use to earn income through their practice. You’ll learn how to diversify revenue streams\, price your work confidently\, and connect with audiences who value what you create. \nPay Your Bills With Your Art also helps shift your mindset—supporting you in treating your art as a professional practice\, not just a passion. \nLearn From a Working Artist and Educator\nLed by Kamar Thomas\, artist\, author\, and Professor of Art at Centennial College\, this workshop blends lived experience with practical guidance. Kamar also teaches at the Visual College of Art and Design. \nYou’ll learn how to leverage social media\, work with galleries and art dealers\, and build visibility while staying true to your creative voice. \nIf you’re ready to take your art seriously and build financial stability doing what you love\, this workshop is for you. \nAbout the speaker:\nKamar Thomas is a fine artist\, Professor\, and upcoming author from Port Antonio\, Jamaica He is currently a Professor of Art at Centennial College and Foundations Lecturer at Visual College of Art and Design. He graduated with a Master’s in Fine Art from the University of Connecticut in 2016 and a BA from Wesleyan University in 2012 where he became interested in how people present themselves\, the masks they wear\, and the differences between who/what is presented and how people really are.  \nKamar’s creative output broadly concerns identity\, specifically black masculinity. He makes series of oil on canvas paintings and drawings that examine how self-presentation changes\, from the perspective of masks\, performances\, and a mixture of both masks and a performance within a cultural narrative. Series of such titles as me\, myself and i\, Selfies\, Schizophrenic Masculinity\, Shizomaica\, and MYTH are ongoing projects that seek to communicate identity as a complex phenomenon. Kamar has collaborated with several charitable foundations that work with Indigenous populations and those in need\, namely the Artist for World Peace Foundation and the Jamie Hulley Fund for the Arts through auctions\, murals\, prizes and numerous fundraisers. He continues to collaborate with Université Laval to help scientists communicate research in Polar Science.  He has recently published his first book “The Artist’s Creative Vision.”  \nPre-registration is required. Available in English and as an online\, live-streaming webinar. \nInvest in yourself and your art for only $20.00* \nRegister Now!\nOnce you have registered\, you will receive an email with instructions on how to log on a few hours before the workshop.
