with Rupal Shah (Strategic Programs Manager at Toronto Arts Council) and Tak Pham (Curator), moderated by Mirae Lee
In this panel, we’ll be delving into one of the hottest topics in the arts: money. What are some ways of ensuring financial sustainability as an emerging creative? How do you balance funding requirements and your personal interest? We promise a conversation full of good tips and resources!
