Artist of the Month

a program for deepening connections

Creativity is our medium for Connection

The Artist of the Month Program celebrates creativity as a form of connection. It’s about artists and creatives using their work to communicate, to process, to heal, and make sense of the world around them.

​

We are building a community of care, one that uplifts voices, explores meaningful topics, and reminds us that creativity is an integral part of our humanity. We are focused more on connection over "exposure", process over perfection, and building a foundation of shared learning, support, and growth.

Think of it as a curated portfolio of your work! 
The Artist of the Month Program began with a couple simple questions:
What if artist features could be more than a 1-time promotional spotlight?
What if they could foster care, community, and deeper connections?
