wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>I still don\u2019t get it &#8211; what exactly is this?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Brave Artist Community is an online community for people who want to live their most creative lives possible. It\u2019s run on a platform called Discord, and live virtual events occur on Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Brave Artist Community at its most basic nature is an place to chat and share work structured by empathy and support. In reality it\u2019s a living, breathing community of creative individuals who are all there to do the work &#8211; whether that means drawing daily or finishing a manuscript or designing their dream life in another country &#8211; alongside each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For our Adventurers and Trailblazers, there are also plenty of opportunities to interact in real-time on Zoom. We host co-working sessions, weekly in-progress celebrations, and have monthly group coaching sessions, among other special events.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m an artist\u2026<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve read this far, I\u2019d bet you are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We define the term \u201cartist\u201d the way that the dictionary does: a person who creates art using conscious skill and creative imagination.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are using skill and imagination to create something, you\u2019re an artist in our eyes. Maybe you create with food and recipes. Maybe it\u2019s chewed up bubble gum sculptures you keep in a drawer in your cubicle. Maybe it&#8217;s doing a post-it sketch a day. Maybe it\u2019s starting a business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can imagine something new &#8211; a thing, a way of being, an idea &#8211; and you want to creatively bring that out into reality, you are an artist and we think you\u2019ll fit in just fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>How does it work? Is this a class?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is NOT a class, although we do have weekly prompts to help you reflect on your journey as an artist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a living, breathing community of creative individuals &#8211; meaning this only works if you put in the work to join the community. There are no minimum time requirements, but we find that the people who get the most out of the experience dedicate at least 10 minutes a day to moving their work forward, and 10 minutes a day on the platform.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>What does \u201c10 minutes a day\u201d look like?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding your own practice, it\u2019s up to you. Some people spend that time writing, others doing research, others might be coding, or painting, or practicing ear training, or sketching, or anything else that moves your creative life forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding time spent in the community, it might be responding to other people\u2019s comments on your posts, it could be writing a reflection on your work for the day. Maybe it\u2019s joining a co-working session or reading someone else\u2019 posts.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>What should I expect to get out of this?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It really depends on what you put into it. It\u2019s just like real life in that the more time you spend supporting others and starting conversations, the more likely you\u2019ll find the support you need and have people eager to converse with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also have a space to share your work-in-progress. If you choose to participate, this is the time to ask for feedback (we have more information on how best to ask for, give, and get useful feedback), get the support you need, and practice talking about your work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As our past members have said, the primary benefit is having other like-spirited people who support your journey and celebrate all the many steps along your creative journey. They\u2019ll cheer for you when you ship a product out into the world, but more importantly they\u2019ll be there to pick you up when the going gets hard.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Will there be other people in my discipline\/medium?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re likely not to find a subject matter expert who can give you a perfect critique of your work (although you might.) However, you are likely to find friends who can cheer you along the way, offer new perspectives, and talk you down from the cliff of giving up.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\"><summary><strong>When are the live calls?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the live calls on Zoom are optional. We will have occasional special events, but already scheduled are our weekly calls, and our monthly group coaching huddles.<br><br>Weekly Co-Working calls are Tuesdays at 4pm PT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weekly High Five Friday calls are Fridays at 10am PT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Monthly Creativity Huddles are at 10am on the first Thursday of the Month.

Why six months?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do offer 7-day trial memberships for our Scout and Adventurer support levels. <br><br>Due to our intention of creating a brave space at our live group coaching, we hope that you make sure that the space has the right vibe for you before committing to the Trailblazer level and we do not offer trials at this level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, we do believe the fastest way to your goals &#8211; whether that\u2019s a finished project like a portfolio or a novel or an album release or whether it\u2019s maintaining a daily writing or singing practice &#8211; is small, consistent steps. This steady, incremental progress is what we focus on supporting through weekly celebrations, checkbox accountability, and our weekly progress updates, and the longer you go leveraging these tools, the more likely it is to stick permanently.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Why isn\u2019t this free?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Providing the structure for spaces of belonging takes time and energy and resources. Just as we believe everyone, especially creatives who are largely undercompensated, should be compensated fairly for their time, so too should our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also know what it\u2019s like to live in a capitalist system and be shut out from opportunities due to lack of funds. That\u2019s why we offer scholarships in order to make it financially viable for as many artists as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>What if I\u2019m looking to start a business?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting a business is an incredibly creative process, and we welcome people looking for support in creating a new venture. That said, there is a line between talking about your business and directly soliciting clients.<br><br>Directly messaging other members with sales info (unless requested by the other member) is strictly forbidden and is grounds for removal from the community. Posting links in specific areas designed for self-promotion is fine. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center is-style-default\">We hope you join us.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for the support that only other creators can provide, we welcome you to join us. No matter if you&#8217;re looking to start, a seasoned pro, or anywhere in-between &#8211; as long as you are willing to try on the posture of a Brave Artist, we want you in here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world is waiting for your art.
