Creatives Thrive NYC

Creatives Thrive NYC (CTNYC) helps New York City Artists and Creatives build the financial skills to meet big challenges! CTNYC is an innovative new year-round training initiative providing expert financial knowledge, trusted resources and a network of reliable partners to help Creative New Yorkers thrive in our often chaotic economy.

CTNYC is a series of free, informative online workshops aimed at providing NYC’s creative workers with real-world financial tools tailored to their specific needs. Kicking off with Thrive in Place, an affordable housing workshop, on May 22, the series continues with a May/June 2024 Financial Education Intensive on Thursdays at 1pm ET, CTNYC will then offer monthly workshops on the third Thursday of every month, from September 2024 onwards (with a break for December Holidays).
