Feeling like you'll never have enough time, money, recognition, access, (insert feeling here!) to sustain yourself as an artist? Need to get out of the scarcity-mindset tunnel? Join us for a workshop around healthy habits for nurturing your creative practice and working from a place of 'abundance' vs. 'lack.'
