Making it: $napshots from the Artist Pay Project by Makeda Easter - 2nd Floor, Executive Residence

The Artist Pay Project is an anonymous journalistic series that examines how artists survive and thrive through anonymous money diaries. Developed by 2022-2023 Knight-Wallace and Ford Center for Racial Justice Fellow Makeda Easter, the series includes interviews with over 30 artists from various disciplines — including visual arts, dance, film, and drag — to understand how much artists are paid for their work, how work is priced, and how artists feel about their overall financial security. Making it: $napshots from the Artist Pay Project by Makeda Easter is a visually-immersive, physical manifestation of this work, advocating for both the value of art in our society and higher wages for working artists. 

On Friday, November 15th from 5-7 pm, there will be an opening reception with food, mocktails, and the artist in the space. All are welcome.  RSVP for NOV. 15TH

Making it: $napshots from the Artist Pay Project is sponsored by the U-M Arts Initiative and Impact Studio.
