This feature isn't working. I am ending it. As those of you who've been with me for ages know I have tried many things to build this membership. Always balancing what I care about participating in with what mentees/artists desire. Initially it was simply about Creativity Club, that is the part I love the most. Critique Club feels like a natural addition, love her too.
I had thought that since I added technical lessons into the library - a live lesson would be aligned and attract more people. The few people who joined FOR the live workshops have cancelled their subscription since and to be honest I can't afford this much energy output on something that isn't giving energy back.
This is so interesting because it shines a light on a problem. If these workshops were something I loved doing right now I wouldn't mind so much how long it took to get them going. How long did I show up for creativity club through sparse attendance (still happens!) to keep her alive because I love her?? Forever!
I have thoroughly enjoyed writing lately, and sharing the gallery experience blow by blow.
I need to think on what feels right to make for this membership beyond the clubs, let it evolve through inspiration and passion.
- I WILL still be doing the artist statement workshop. But I think we should make them annual or biannual or even quarterly offerings, and add one for artist bios too!! (I feel excitement about this!)
- If you were looking forward to any of the live monthly workshops on the calendar and feel disappointed let me know and describe what you were excited about.
