Worried about your personal or professional financial health – or both? Does the idea of budgeting create stress or overwhelm?

Gain confidence in the financial decisions that affect your livelihood as a working local artist. Dara Harper will share personal stories about her experiences with navigating financial barriers to being an artist and how you can do the same. Gina Betti and Rachel Durci will lead you through money-related affirmations and goal setting activities, to help lay the foundation for building a sustainable future as an artist.

GINA BETTI’s passion is helping others and creating champions in the world. She began her career with Edward Jones in 2009 and has three areas of focus: personal finances, small-business retirement plans and non-profit strategies. She currently serves as a board member of North Coast Job Seekers, Limitless Ambition and Summit Artspace. In addition to my leadership roles, I also volunteer and advocate for Copley Community Outreach, Stewart’s Caring Place and Birthcare of Medina.

There is no formula: art breathes and lives intrinsically with the person that creates it, which should mirror the vibrancy and the heart of our communities.
