Student loans, credit cards, mortgages--debt can put serious stress on an active creative practice and impede our desire and ability to focus on producing new work. Hefty monthly payments and interest that never stops accruing can throw a major wrench into even the best-laid plans to set and stick to a budget. Erin Foley, Finance Manager at Film Streams, will lead a special WAW session that tackles debt, debt management strategies, consolidation, and alternative repayment plans that can help free up funds, while paying down your debt, to reinvest in yourself and your creative practice.

Working Artist Wednesdays (WAW) is Amplify Arts’ series of professional development workshops for artists that takes place on the first Wednesday of each month. WAW 2019 features 3 units, each focused on a different theme. Each unit is designed to:
strengthen peer networks and relationships with arts professionals,
promote collaborative learning,
give working artists tools they need to apply for grants, exhibitions, and residencies with confidence,
successfully start and run a small business, and
tap into national and local resources
Unit 3 in 2019 is devoted to strategic financial planning, setting goals, and learning more about practical approaches to stay on track and tools keep those goals within reach. All four sessions in Unit 3 will be led by visual artist and Film Streams’ Finance Manager, Erin Foley. Each session is $5.00 or purchase a year-long Amplify Arts’ Artist Membership for $60 and attend a year of WAW sessions for free, plus access a host of other benefits throughout the year.
All sessions are free for UNO students with a valid student ID. Special thanks to UNO's College of Communication, Fine Arts, and Media and their Center for Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Franchising for making this partnership possible.
*Each session is recorded on video and uploaded to Vimeo with captions, so even if you can't come in person, register anyways and we'll send you the recording after.
