Accessibility & Equity Commitment

We keep submissions free and accessible. If you require assistance with the form or submission process, email connect@confluencecommunity.org and we will support you.

We are not perfect, and we are not trying to be.

We are not prestigious, and that is not our goal.

We are building something different.

Much of what we do involves experimentation, collaboration, and trying new approaches.

Even though we bring professional experience and refined skills, we are also innovating in real time. That means we will make mistakes, adjust, learn, and improve as we go.

Most of what we offer is free or very low cost (for that reason), and no one involved is making money from this work. We are doing it because we believe in access, community, creative equity, and re-shaping what financial independence can look like for creatives.

As we grow, refine our systems, and work toward more funding, we ask for your patience, grace, and understanding.

We hope you will grow with us, and help shape a community where learning, creativity, shared effort, and building a supportive environment, matter more than perfection.
