Business Practices for Creative Artists


The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art will host a two-part workshop on Saturday, November 3rd from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 pm, designed for the working artist who wishes to learn more about legal, financial, and tax strategies tailored to the creative professional. CPA and owner of Positus Consulting, Andra Watkins, will present two sessions focusing on basic, yet useful accounting strategies for non-accountants. Frank Dirks of UBS Financial Services will focus on retirement and investment strategies in the afternoon sessions. Both presenters will be available to meet one-on-one with artists following the sessions. In order to make this accessible to artists, the Halsey Institute will charge a fee of $15 for HICA Members and students and $25 for non-members to cover meal expenses (breakfast and lunch will be provided). Reservations are required and seating is limited. Please email halsey@cofc.edu or call 843.953.9121 to make a reservation.
