Supporting Artists & Helping Raise Awareness
Alongside our Artist of the Month features, we will continue raising awareness about issues that matter to our community, our planet, and artists: from mental health and belonging to biodiversity and sustainability.
One of our main goals for the new year, is to find more creative ways to provide direct financial support to the artists, causes, and creative collaborators who make this program possible. In order to maintain space for genuine connection long-term, we must ensure that the people doing this work are supported in meaningful, tangible ways.
When artists, and people in general, have financial stability, it becomes easier to show up in community, to make space for others, and to inspire positive change in both personal and collective ways.
We know that money is a necessary part of existing in this world and economy. In our first year hosting the program, we focused on building connections and fostering community, taking money completely out of the picture. This program is free and volunteer-powered, and will continue to be free for artists. However, we still want to find ways that truly support artists, beyond just a shoutout.
We have seen how many programs charge artists for features while offering little real support in return. We are determined to do things differently, to create something that truly uplifts and values artists for who they are, and what they bring to the world.
