In 2003, Artists Space initiated a new series of free practical workshops for artists to provide a broad range of survival skills for the practicing artist. Workshops focus on issues including as Tax Filing and Accounting Procedures, Financial Planning, Preparing Submissions and Portfolios, Hazard and Safety in the Studio, Finding Alternative Sources of Income, and Applying for Grants and Residencies. Experienced career artists are employed (and paid honoraria) to lead the workshops.
