is fundamental to

Artists have long known that true success comes from community.
And success as an artist is so much more than selling your work or getting into a gallery. It is about expressing ourselves authentically and bearing our souls through our work.
Artist communities offer a way to learn, share ideas, get feedback, push ourselves and most importantly they encourage us to grow.
The Catalyst Art Lab membership community offers you a place to connect with us and other members, to engage in discussions on topics important to you, to get feedback on your work, and where you can find support and mentoring.
