Beyond the Studio: Career Pathways for Artists and Culture Bearers

Beyond the Studio: Career Pathways for Artists and Culture Bearers is a free, moderated discussion designed to connect Sacramento’s creative community with professional artists and culture bearers. This engaging discussion gives participants insight on diverse artistic process, strategies for discovering and securing opportunities, and exploring sustainable practices for building long-term creative careers.

Hosted at Prism Art Space, the discussion panel will be followed by Open Studios networking with Prism Art Space residents, offering a unique opportunity for attendees to explore the gallery, community room and workspaces.

This event is part of Art Tonic’s CA Artist Empowerment Network, a statewide series of professional development workshops and events focused on expanding Sacramento’s artist ecosystem and strengthening local resources for creative professionals.

Art Tonic is an artist-led organization dedicated to creating meaningful, community-centered art experiences that prioritize equity, authenticity, and collaboration. We bring a deep understanding of the creative process and a lived commitment to inclusive, equitable practices that uplift underrepresented voices. Our mission is to empower artists by offering professional support, opportunities for visibility, and pathways to sustainable careers.

We work closely with organizations to design and manage art projects that are rooted in local context, shaped by community input, and led by artists who reflect the communities they serve. Through these collaborations, we transform physical spaces, build lasting relationships, foster cultural exchange, and cultivate a strong creative network in Sacramento, and beyond.
