This is event is focused on how arts organizations can develop budgeting strategies that support disabled artists. We will discuss methods for centering artists' financial needs while recognizing the limits of monetary compensation as a sole form of exchange between artists and organizations. Our goal is to find possibilities for organizational processes that more directly honor the work of disabled artists and organizers.

The event will feature Dom Chatterjee, founder of QTPoC Mental Health and Rest for Resistance. They  will share lessons from their experience developing processes like a flipped sliding scale for centering artists' financial needs assessments. Their experience as a disabled artists and as an organizer developing new organizational strategies will open a conversation among everyone in attendance.

This event follows Budgeting Strategies for Disabled Artists on Saturday, July 30th, designed around disabled artists' experiences and expertise about budgeting systems.
