The Art of Money: Personal Finance Resources for Artists

Join the Department of Cultural Affairs and Department of Consumer Affairs Office of Financial Empowerment for a day of FREE one-on-one financial counseling and workshops designed to help working artists and arts administrators in all disciplines, as well as independent workers reduce debt and manage credit. The Art of Money: Personal Finance Resources for Artists will take place on Saturday, March 6 from Noon – 5 PM, at the Dwyer Cultural Center, 258 St. Nicholas Avenue (at 123rd Street). Individuals can participate in group workshops that demonstrate how to access and use credit and reduce existing debt and interest rates; sign up for a free, confidential, one-on-one consultation with a financial counselor who can help manage credit and debt and provide strategic referrals to other public and private resources; learn about tax services and refunds for which they might be eligible; and, meet representatives from organizations that can help them access services that support their work. Crafts for kids will be available and consultations will be available in both English and Spanish.

This event is presented in collaboration with Harlem Arts Alliance, Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance, and Community Works as part of the Shared Spaces Initiative with support from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Economic Development Corporation.
