This is a 4-part series. Artists are welcome to attend all or select sessions. In this workshop, stage performers and tax specialists Amy Smith and Akeem Davis bring a class- and race-based analysis of our economic structures and dive into the financial building blocks necessary for artists to thrive. Over the course of four sessions, this workshop will demystify concepts and introduce fundamental financial tools to help participants—including those who “hate thinking about money”—make informed financial decisions for their long-term futures. Participants will leave empowered to make prudent financial decisions, with an abundance mindset. The workshop will be a mix of presentation and Q&A format. Areas covered will include: SESSION 1: Our relationship with money, and setting financial goals. SESSION 2: How to value one’s time to build toward savings and retirement. SESSION 3: Budgeting for your life and credit/debt management. SESSION 4: An intro to investing, with an eye toward handling the unexpected and long-term planning. Amy Smith is an educator and the Former Co-Director of Headlong Dance Theater, a Bessie-award winning Philadelphia-based dance theater company. Akeem Davis is a Barrymore-award winning actor and non-profit administrator with the Atlantic Center for Capital Representation. Both are part of the team at Philadelphia Tax Prep for Artists. This workshop is suitable for artists of all disciplines, at any point in their career, who are interested in learning or reviewing basic concepts of personal finances. 100 participants max. In order to create a safer space to discuss difficult issues, this workshop will not be recorded.
