"Making Your Life as an Artist" is back by popular demand!
If you are a Cleveland artist or maker within any form or discipline, we invite you to spend 4 weeks with Maelstrom Collaborative Arts, forming a microcosmic artist community that addresses the major questions laid out in Artists U’s nationally acclaimed "Making Your Life as an Artist" book and workbook. Each session is FREE and will include group, partner or individual check-ins, writing and thought exercises, discussion, and direction for out-of-session extension activities centered around ideas like:
Why artists are poor and why we shouldn’t be.
The crucial role artists play in culture, and why it’s often under-valued.
Tools and principles artists have used to thrive.
Why artists already have the skills needed to make balanced, sustainable lives.
Books and workbooks are FREE by PDF download (or by purchase in bound form at a low cost) online at
www.artistsu.com. We will also have extra hard copies available at each of the upcoming sessions:
Monday, September 10, 6pm-9pm. "Planning as an Artist" (at Maelstrom Collaborative Arts, 5403 Detroit)
Monday, October 8, 6pm-9pm. "Your Mission as an Artist" (at Maelstrom Collaborative Arts, 5403 Detroit)
Monday, November 12, 6pm-9pm "Your Money as an Artist" (at Maelstrom Collaborative Arts, 5403 Detroit)
Monday, December 10, 6pm-9pm "Your Time as an Artist" (at Maelstrom Collaborative Arts, 5403 Detroit)
We recommend that you attend all 4 sessions to get the full impact of the program, but we welcome drop-ins as your schedule permits.
Sessions will be facilitated by Marcia Custer, Director of Connectivity at Maelstrom Collaborative Arts.
Marcia is a freelance performance artist
