Know Your Numbers: Financial Clarity for Creative Businesses

Are you an artist who avoids the “money stuff”? You’re not alone — and this talk is for you.

With a background in restaurant, retail, and wholesale operations, Maria brings decades of experience and a real-world approach to financial clarity.

You’ll learn:

📊 How to make sense of cash flow, pricing, and bookkeeping

💸 Why understanding your financials is essential to valuing your time and your work

🧾 How monthly “operational bookkeeping” can support your growth as a creative business

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to become more financially confident, Maria will help you connect the dots between your creativity and your business success.

✨ BONUS: Art Supply Swap!

Bring any gently used or unwanted art supplies to share or trade with fellow artists. It’s a fun, free way to refresh your stash and connect with the creative community.
