sustaining in a time of change

(let’s not do 2025 alone)

I want to be in community with artists as we walk together through this time.

We will use Artists U prompts and tools to build conversations around resources, wellbeing, artistic practice, and the audiences and publics around our work, all of it in the context of this chaotic and dispiriting moment.

This workshop is an opportunity to build clarity around your artistic practice and the resources that sustain it. It is community organizing, creating positive and rigorous conversations across artistic disciplines, ages, and cultures. And it is specific and practical: the principles, tools, and prompts artists use to make sustainable lives and to make the art and impact that matters most to them.

“Our local art sphere is changing with these workshops. People are talking about things differently and feeling more empowered. The impact is deep.”
—visual artist

“The Artists U workshop I attended was a booster shot of validation, community and empowerment—a reminder that our work as artists matters. I came away with practical strategies for setting goals, managing time, negotiating for fair pay, and re-committing myself to the work that makes me feel alive.”
—actor and theater maker

“It is far too easy for individual artists to feel alone and ineffective. The thoughtfulness, compassion and support that the workshops condense and facilitate is quite amazing. I am deeply impressed with the integrity and earnestness of the content and presentation.”
