Jenifer Simon, Director of Programs from CERF+, leads this discussion exploring the reality that an artist’s life has its ups and downs – some predictable, others not. CERF+ envisions a future where working artists thrive with a safety net of resources to sustain and protect their art, livelihood and career. In this panel, local artists will share how they have been affected by setbacks both large and small and discuss how they have recovered or adapted their practice to be more resilient. Representatives from local arts and business organizations will talk about resources that support, or are relevant to a resilient career.
