Taxes. Yes, everybody has to pay them – even artists and other creative types.
Fortunately, there’s help. The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce, Arts Council of New Westminster and 100 Braid Street Studios are continuing their Artovations series of workshops designed to help artists with the business side of being creative – and this month’s workshop is on taxes.
Taxes for Creatives: Kick the Starving Artist Myth to the Curb is on at 100 Braid Street Studios on Thursday, April 7 at 7 p.m.
Yawen W. Omego, a musician and a tax coach, will be leading the workshop and will explore seven ways that artists can save on taxes.

PAINT AND SIP AT 100 BRAID STREET
All right, enough about practical stuff, let’s get back to fun.
Also at 100 Braid Street Studios, have you checked out a paint and sip night yet? The nights give everybody a chance to create a painting, under the guidance of a professional artist, and enjoy some refreshments and beverages.
The next one’s coming up on Saturday, April 2, where the painting theme is birch trees, and on Friday, April 22, you can try your hand at spring birch trees.
The nights cost $35 per person or $60 for two adults attending together. See www.100braidststudios.com.
