2023 CREATIVE MASTERMIND
+ SONGWRITER COMMUNITY
For the creative being
in need of creative community.
For the artist who is ready
to demonstrate commitment to your work,
to be professional,
regardless of your vocation.
For the artist who just isn't sure
what the next steps are or how to take them.
For the artist who is ready to show up,
ready to face your fear,
ready to share your work and grow
in confidence.
For the one who knows
that loving accountability,
will change your life.
For anyone ready to do something
you've never done before,
in order to have something
you've never had before.
For the one who is passionate about creating,
wears many hats
and creates beautiful things
in slim margins.
For the ARTIST AND...
ARTIST AND serves artists with a unique blend of professionalism and intimacy.
We believe in excellence, and we believe our most excellent work comes when we are most connected to our own authentic voice and to authentic community. And we believe that in the process of growing as artists, we always grow as human beings and thus see growth in the other areas of our lives and relationships.
Our vision for the Mastermind and the Songwriter Community includes creating a space for artists to explore both.
The ARTIST AND CREATIVE MASTERMIND is a place for committed artists of all kinds to connect and share--resources, ideas, growth and goals.
In good company, you will move in the direction of your unique vision, whether that's by completing a major project or reaching smaller milestones in your craft.
We believe that building relationships beyond one's own art form not only connects us with potential collaborators and resources, but also opens our minds to new ideas on all fronts and offers unimaginable opportunity for expansion.
Our SONGWRITER COMMUNITY adds support specific to our songwriters in our Mastermind.
Songwriters will experience all the connection, accountability and resource-sharing of the Creative Mastermind PLUS participate in opportunities specifically designed to benefit songwriters.
