Is it possible to live your life as an artist and still pay the rent?

Jersey City Museum and Hudson County Office of Cultural Affairs present Cash Flow: Trickle or River? on Saturday, January 10, 2009, 2pm at Jersey City Museum. Cash Flow: Trickle or River? is the first program in an ongoing series of artist professional development workshops called I Got Talent Now What? The workshops are designed to help professional artists, emerging artists, art students, and freelancers develop the business skills and insight needed to navigate life as an artist.

Susan Lee, Certified Financial Planner and Registered Investment Advisor, will present an afternoon of financial advice and tax planning specially designed for artists and freelancers. Individuals in attendance will receive valuable information such as how to spend money in a way that meets their unique goals and how to correctly file taxes as an artist or freelancer. Susan Lee is host and producer of YOU AND YOUR MONEY on WBAI (99.5 FM, Pacifica Radio), a personal finance radio show geared at helping listeners live out their dreams in a financially balanced and financially healthy way.

Reservations are not required but are recommended. Those interested in attending should RSVP to Meredith Lipmann, Program Development Specialist, Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development at mlippman@hcnj.us or 201.459.2070.
