On 26 July 2024, we hosted an impactful Financial and Business Workshop designed to empower artists with the tools needed to thrive in the art world. Attendees gained invaluable insights into navigating the complexities of the CIPC registration process, securing Tax Clearance Certification, and understanding the importance of BEE/B-BBEE Certificates for their businesses.

Participants also delved into essential topics such as taxation compliance, budgeting for both business and personal finances, strategic pricing of artwork, and exploring investment options—including wills, life insurance, and passive income generation.

We were privileged to have four distinguished guest speakers from different facets of the visual arts culture, each bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussions. For more details on our speakers, see our “Meet the Practitioner” profiling below.

This workshop was an essential step for artists looking to take their art business to the next level. We were thrilled to see such an enthusiastic turnout and are confident that the knowledge gained will help participants secure the financial backing their art deserves.
