Where Creativity Meets the Culture Economy
Working Creative is analysis, community, and hands-on support for artists and creatives navigating a changing landscape — through original writing on the business of culture, workshops, and one-on-one guidance.
Why Working Creative?
Working Creative is built on the belief that art and culture aren't a luxury — they're an engine for economic growth and opportunity. The name carries a double meaning: a nod to always being a work in progress, and a commitment to working artists who care as much about their livelihoods as their craft."
Creativity has always been personal — but today it's also economic. Working Creative sits at that intersection: analyzing how culture, brands, and markets shape a creative career, and building the workshops, guides, and community to help you navigate it. Whether you're an artist, a maker, or someone who wants more creativity in your life and work, this is a place to think clearly and build something sustainable.
Building Your Art Career in a Noisy World
A 3-Part Workshop Series | Austin, TX | November 2026
Making a living as an artist has never been more complicated. Social feeds are louder than ever, generative AI is reshaping how work gets made — and credited — economic uncertainty is squeezing everyone, and the traditional paths in (galleries, art fairs, art school) are shrinking or pricing artists out entirely.
This three-part series is a practical response: real tools for building a sustainable creative career on today's terms, not yesterday's.
Session 1 - Kicking Off Your Art Career
