kevin.gotkin@gmail.comThis event invites disabled artists to share experiences and expertise about budgeting. What tools and approaches have disabled artists found helpful in budgeting? What problems do we encounter? How does the bureaucracy of the art world fail to provide forms of care we need? How do we plan for rest when funding sources require us to move on certain timelines? These are the kinds of questions we will discuss together. Artists April Biggs and Vanessa Cruz will share their insights and facilitate discussion.
This program follows an event earlier this year about budgeting tools for artists designed to help you navigate the art worlds as they are now. (If you would like the materials from this session, email
kevin.gotkin@gmail.com.) In this event, we move away from sharing information about the status quo and into discussing what changes we need, led by disability insight. The next event, on Wednesday, August 3rd, will focus on organizational strategies for supporting disabled artist, featuring artist-organizer Dom Chatterjee. You can register at:

If you are looking to learn from disabled artists and share your own experience as a disabled artist, this is a good event for you. If you are looking for conversations about radical and emergent strategies organizations can use to support disabled artists, the next event is a good event for you. If you are looking to connect and discuss with other artists, the jam session is good for you. Everyone is invited to all sessions.
Follow-up materials will be available to those who register.
This event is part of a series offered by Kinetic Light to support disabled artists' know-how in U.S. arts worlds.
