Q+A session to get your project-specific questions answered
A hands-on creative session where you’ll be guided through designing your own visual manifesto
A supportive space to connect and network with our community of creatives.
Why This Session Matters:
According to the 2025 Artists Speak survey:
79% of artists say community drives their progress
63% receive little to no institutional support
78% experience a mentorship gap
Most creatives work 46-52 hours a week under huge financial strain
We created this workshop as a way to use our experience to help in closing the huge mentorship gap, to share our knowledge as two industry experts with the next generation of emerging creatives, and to facilitate a supportive space for us to work together as a community to build confidence, make new industry connections, and help each other progress creatively.
