Held on 19 September 2025, Whitianga
Let’s talk money. Being an artist is not only about creating — it’s also about understanding the business side of your mahi.
Our third Coromind Artist Workshop, The Business End, was a real success. Together we explored:
- Commission structures
- Gallery agreements
- Pricing your work
- Whether to register for GST
- How to track your income as a creative
With inspiring contributions from guest speakers:
- Emma Evangeline Gustafson
- Philip Hart (Accountant & Artist)
- Ginney Deavoll
It was an invaluable session that gave artists greater clarity and confidence in managing the financial side of their practice.

To wrap it all up, this final session is an open kōrero focused on the wellbeing of artists. How do we stay inspired while navigating the pressure to earn, promote, and keep producing? We’ll bring together reflections and questions from earlier sessions to explore how we can care for ourselves — and each other — while doing what we love.
