The Boring Bits – Tips For Managing Resources from an Artist, Designer and Secret Admin Nerd
Nothing inspires fear and loathing in creative people quite like time management, financial administration, managing resources or goal-setting (cue crickets and/or violins).
Join artist and designer Stavroula Adameitis aka Frida Las Vegas for a deep-dive workshop exploring ‘the boring bits’ of an arts vocation in this practical yet light-hearted seminar. Stavroula will take you on a journey through the ocean of dreaded tasks, sharing insights and tips on how to turn the fish you’d rather not fry into a seafood platter of sustainable thinking when it comes to your creative practice. This session is medium agnostic and especially valuable for solo practitioners who are curious about how other creatives manage time, money and energy.
"Absolutely excellent session with an incredible artist and business person."
Session attendee, 2024.
