In partnership with the Spark of Hudson, CREATE Council on the Arts are hosting an evening workshop all about budgeting. Even if it feels restrictive or out of place in your creative world, this isn’t your typical budgeting talk. CREATE is opening up a real, honest conversation for artists and creatives—whether you’re curious, skeptical, or just tired of feeling stressed about money. Together, we’ll explore practical and flexible ways to think about your finances, without pressure or judgment, so you can start feeling more in control.
