June Open Hall: Finance Literacy for Artists

Join us for an informative and relaxed session exploring the practical side of creative work. Delivered by the UTAS Tax Clinic in partnership with the West Coast Financial Literacy Project and The Unconformity, this workshop is designed to support artists in understanding tax, financial management and the tools that can help sustain creative practice.

Whether you are just beginning your artistic career, selling work for the first time, or looking to better organise your finances, this session will provide practical information and resources to help you manage your money with more confidence.

The session will include:

• Clear guidance on tax and financial basics for artists
• Information on business structures, including sole traders and ABNs
• Understanding the difference between a hobby and a business for tax purposes
• GST compliance and education
• Income tracking and invoicing essentials
• Superannuation guidance
• Deductible expenses including materials, equipment, studio costs, exhibition expenses and shipping
• Resources and templates to support organisation and record keeping
• An open Q&A session for individual questions
• Refreshments and informal conversation

All events will be held at The Unconformity Hall, 35 Cutten Street Queenstown. For catering purposes, please RSVP by sending your full name, contact details, and which events you would like to attend to Program Coordinator Frankie Munro at frankie@theunconformity.com.au
