Spring Semester runs May 1-August 31, 2025
Each month we have a prompt, learn about an artist, and have optional assignments to help us along the way. Take a peek at one month

What Does A Month Look Like In The Art Lab?
Prompt Drop
On the 1st of each month a new prompt (which will be a piece of artwork) will be presented. You will also receive a PDF with information about the artist, a proposed timeline for the month, optional assignments, and more.
During the Month
The Artists’ Collab is your support group. Post anything you’re working on. Ask questions. Share your wins and losses.
Work on the assignments and weekly attentions that are contained in the PDF. Share with the group!
Often people will post things they run across like podcasts, books, or videos. Or they will share a technique they are embracing. It’s truly a beautiful community.
Processing Zoom
We will vote for the date(s)/time(s) that we can meet to zoom. Depending on the way it shakes out, we will have up to 2 different zoom times. But if you miss it, don’t worry! It will be recorded and shared in the group for you to watch/listen at any time!
Post
There is a pre-determined date at the beginning of the month for our art pieces to go LIVE on Instagram! I used deadlines as a way to motivate and to make sure your creation actually gets put out into the world.
This has become my favorite day of the month! It’s always so exciting and invigorating!
Tea Time
This is 1-on-1 time where we can chat about the prompt or about anything, really. If you have a project you’d like to discuss or just want to talk creativity, I’m there for it.
These are in addition to or in lieu of attending a group meet. Anyone in the group can sign up!
Decompress
We have a decompress zoom in which we get to talk about how the month went. What was our process? What did we learn? What did we like or not like? How have we grown? It’s a great way to put closure on the prompt and process.
Once again, this is recorded for viewing, so if you miss it you can listen later!
It is not frivolous to invest in yourself and your creativity; it fills you and allows you to be better in all areas of your life.
All creativity is mutually beneficial.

THE PROCESS IS THE POINT
The Art Lab is about the process. It’s not about a before and after. It’s about viewing creating in a whole new way.
It means taking input and allowing it to simmer in your subconscious.
It means meeting with other creatives and hearing their thoughts and ideas.
It means learning new things and allowing it to shape your creativity in new and maybe unexpected ways.
It means wrestling and leaning into the discomfort.
It means seeking connections.
It doesn’t mean fitting into a mold, but living into the artistic freedom within.
But it also means deadlines to hold us accountable.
Because we know that expanding means pushing past the comfortable bounds as we now know them, but finding even more joy and beauty on the other side.
Group Mentorship + Community+ Support + Inspiration + Deadlines + Encouragement

Why Group Mentorship?
Talking and creating with like-minded people is a true gift. Sharing our struggles and triumphs binds us together and helps us all grow.
Weekly prompts will keep creating at the fore of your mind. It will help you pay attention. The monthly prompt will be a chance to create a piece with intention. You will have the opportunity to join zoom calls to process the prompt and find your way in creating your piece. There is also a debrief to talk about your process and get feedback. Community is at the center of all we do.
Your art is important, essential even. It is not frivolous to invest in yourself and your creativity; it fills you and allows you to be better in all areas of your life.
This group is a safe space to hold your questions about art but also about craft. You need not be a film photographer or even a photographer to join. Just a curious artist wanting to grow.
You deserve a safe space.
*The community will take place in a closed Facebook group. You will receive a link to the group upon submission of payment.
