The Ecology of Care and Resources: Sustaining Artistic Lives

In this workshop, we explore the interconnected ecosystem of care and resources that sustains an artist’s life and practice. Moving beyond transactional models, we will examine how relationships, community, and personal well-being shape sustainable artistic careers. Through guided discussions, interactive exercises, and self-reflection, participants will map their own ecosystems—identifying the networks of support, financial tools, and structures that contribute to long-term resilience.
