We are excited to announce that we will be resuming the Alternator Chats in the new year with a series dedicated to professional artistic development. The 2021 winter series are all about helping you reach your 2021 art-related new year’s resolutions and goals!

Artists and creatives from all disciplines and stages of their careers are invited to participate in ZOOM sessions taking place on Thursdays from 5-6 p.m. from January 7 - February 25, 2021. This eight-part series will provide an opportunity to connect with artists and professionals around topics such as grant and proposal writing, ways to maintain an art-life balance, selling your artwork, and tax tips for artists.

These free, informal sessions are ideal for those who are interested in learning more about logistic and practical matters involved in being an artist -- the things they don’t necessarily teach you in school, and provide an opportunity to learn how your peers are coping, and to share techniques and frustrations of being a working artist. 

Its tax season, and the Alternator’s Treasurer, Kathy Chin (MTax) will provide tax tips for artists to consider when filling out taxes, and answer any tax-related questions.*

This session is ideal for working artists or arts organizations filing file taxes related to their artistic practice(s). For instance, What kinds of income and expenses should be included? When do you need a GST number? Are there any tax considerations in 2020 that artists should be aware of due to COVID 19?

*Please note, due to privacy and legal considerations, specific questions and information regarding an individual or organizations’ specific filing will not be addressed in this session.

Facilitated by Kathy Chin
