Welcome to the
Who We Are
Confluence Community is a living network of people and projects exploring new ways to work, create, and contribute together. Here, we invite you to slow down, listen to your own rhythms, and discover how you work best while participating in a community that values support over competition.
We cultivate environments where autonomy and experimentation are encouraged, and where creativity, care, and presence are part of everyday practice. Our work is grounded in accessible and sustainable approaches, connecting efforts, ideas, and inspiration across communities.
We question systems that place profit above people, creativity, and the environment, and advocate for kinder, more thoughtful ways of working together.
Confluence is an invitation to explore, to try, and to grow, for those who want to create meaningfully, move at their own pace, and connect with others doing the same.
What can we grow together?
Our Mission
Our mission is to reimagine how we work and create by cultivating community environments that prioritize human wellbeing, creativity, and ecological care over urgency and competition.
The Confluence Creative Collective is a community cooperative dedicated to fostering artistic expression, community engagement, and economic empowerment through innovative collaboration. We provide a sustainable and inclusive platform where artists, creators, designers, and writers can find support while contributing to the well-being of their communities.
Our Vision
Creativity is essential for community building, empowerment, and social change. By creating a cooperative model for artists and creative professionals, we aim to redefine the relationship between art, business, and community impact.
Our vision is to cultivate a space where creativity is appreciated for its power to inspire, challenge, and connect.
Through collective decision-making, and community-driven projects, we hope to break down the barriers that isolate people and limit their potential.
We are dedicated to uplifting, empowering, and inspiring a deeper sense of connection and purpose within communities.
