Alternator Chat // Art/Life Balance

  • Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art 421 Cawston Avenue (unit 103) Kelowna, BC, V1Y 6Z1 Canada (map)

We are excited to announce that we will be resuming the Alternator Chats in the new year with a series dedicated to professional artistic development. The 2021 winter series are all about helping you reach your 2021 art-related new year’s resolutions and goals!

Artists and creatives from all disciplines and stages of their careers are invited to participate in ZOOM sessions taking place on Thursdays from 5-6 p.m. from January 7 - February 25, 2021. This eight-part series will provide an opportunity to connect with artists and professionals around topics such as grant and proposal writing, ways to maintain an art-life balance, selling your artwork, and tax tips for artists.

These free, informal sessions are ideal for those who are interested in learning more about logistic and practical matters involved in being an artist -- the things they don’t necessarily teach you in school, and provide an opportunity to learn how your peers are coping, and to share techniques and frustrations of being a working artist. 

How do you balance making money to survive and artistic endeavours?

This Alternator Chat aims to provide some insight into this age-old question for artists and provide an opportunity for artists to share techniques, frustrations and experiences. It is ideal for artists of all disciplines and stages in their careers.

Please note: Due to the conversational manner of this Alternator Chat, participation is limited to eight people. Participants are expected to be active participants in the discussion, and bring experiences, ideas and questions to share!

This Alternator Chat will not be recorded.
