HOW TO GAIN ACCESS TO
The New "Secret" Artist Community
Have you ever wished for a community of like-minded artists who understand the unique challenges and joys of being a creative entrepreneur? A group where you can socialize, share stories, exchange art tips, business tips, and so much more?
Imagine having a space where you can bounce ideas off each other, receive feedback on your latest work, and share your wins and struggles in a safe and nurturing environment.
Well, what if there actually was a place like that? What if you could connect, or re-connect with other artists right now?
Hi. My name is Amber. I am an artist and have been a tech geek/consultant for a long time. The most common thing I hear from artists, is "After a paid course or mastermind is over, I wish I could stay in touch with the artists I met and keep up the relationships."
If you're like 99% of the artists I've met, you probably feel the same way. You might have even jumped from group to group, course to course, trying to find a place that feels like your community.
Well, I'm here to change all that! I want to introduce you to my brand new, exclusive community of female artists online. You don't have to setup a FB group or try to figure out how to connect to other artists, because I've done all of the work setting up a space for us connect.
I call it, Artists The Gathering!
And inside, you will find a community space that is the perfect place for mature female artists to come together and connect. If you've participated in paid masterminds or other groups in the past, you know the value of surrounding yourself with a supportive network of fellow creatives.
Say goodbye to feeling isolated in your art practice. In our community, you'll be able to stay in touch with artists you've met along your journey, as well as meet new artists and make lasting friendships.

What Makes "Artists The Gathering" Different?
If you have found this page, and if you choose to join, then you will be one of the FOUNDING members of the community! This is a brand new space I created in April 2024, so it will grow and change as the membership grows.
I am not advertising this group anywhere. My idea is to grow this community slowly by word of mouth and referrals so we can build a nurturing group of supportive women. I have met so many fabulous women in the recent years, and it would fill my heart with joy to stay connected and grow our relationships with each other and for you to do the same.

Faq.
Discord is a voice, video, and text communication platform designed for creating communities. It was first launched in 2015 and has since become popular among gamers, streamers, and other online communities for its robust features and easy-to-use interface. Users can create or join servers, participate in voice or text chats, share media and files, and more. Discord is a place that makes it easy to talk every day and hang out more often.
You can access Discord through a web browser (Discord.com) or by installing the Discord app on your mobile device.
Once you are a member of the community, you can invite fellow artist friends. Just keep in mind that to keep the space safe, it's preferred that you only invite artists you personally know and trust.
By default, when you join a Discord server, the appearance is set to a dark theme. To change it:
1. Click on the gear icon next to your user name to bring up your account settings.
2. Choose "Appearance"
3. Click on the white Theme (instead of the dark gray)
Discord only has these two options, light or dark, on the free version.
FYI: The only way to "unlock" other color options by upgrading to "Nitro." Nitro is an optional Discord subscription. If you subscribe to Nitro, you get access to features that were previously locked for you - like using custom emoji anywhere, uploading bigger files, setting a custom video background, and more. When the subscription ends, you'll lose access to the perks. You do not need to subscribe to Nitro. Many Nitro perks seem to be popular amongst gamers.
