Not another faceless online community
A SPACE TO FEEL CONNECTED, IN A WORLD THAT'S PRETTY DISCONNECTED RIGHT NOW
We're a global community of creatives who understand the effects of isolation and the power of relationships.
We exist to help you connect with industry experts, as well as inexperienced creatives who all share a goal of making creative expression a lifestyle, not just a career. This is a space to be yourself, receive support and give back without expectation, making the creators journey feel warm and fuzzy instead of lonely and terrifying.
Real connections
Slack network
Keep in touch with a Slack full of creative goodness. Maybe
you want professional advice, some feedback on your work, someone to
collaborate with or simply want to express yourself with stupid gifs…
There’s probably a channel for it.
