The Money and Meaning workshop is collaboration between The GoDown Arts Centre and Nätverkstan, Sweden, and is based on experiences gained in training programmes, education and workshops run by Nätverkstan in Sweden and Sian Prime, MA at Goldsmiths University in UK.

The aim of the workshop is to provide participants with tools, techniques and structured reflection proven to assist creative individuals in developing their ideas, projects and businesses. It turns to professional artists or those aiming to become professional artists within all artistic fields. The workshop is about all the other things around your artistic work, on how to live on what you do.

A thought to bear in mind is that many artists know more of entrepreneurship than they think they know - the workshop aims to realize this potential, provide food for structured reflection around the profession of being an artist, as well as discussions of the role of art in your society. The first workshop was convened in 2009 with the second one being convened in 2010 at the same time with The Economy of Creativity conference.
