The Journey from Artistry to Prosperity Begins with Our Programming!

The countdown Starts NOW!!!

5 - $5,000 Target:

This ambitious goal will unlock the door to empowering artists and creatives, helping them turn their passions into thriving community-minded businesses.

Each of our transformative programs requires approximately $1,200 to launch and ensure its continuity throughout the year. Your financial contributions will cover crucial upfront costs, including:

Curriculum building and workshop coordination
Guest speaker fees and venue rentals
Community outreach, advertising, and promotion
Equipment rental for recording, editing, and publishing online classes
Securing a network management platform for The B.A.D. Collective
Partially subsidizing program costs for our members

Our strategic launch plan ensures that each program begins generating funds to sustain itself as soon as it commences. This structure will pave the way for expanding our course offerings and introducing additional programming tailored to the needs of our Artistpreneurs.

Sneak PEEK:

3 - 3 Months to Impact & Giving Back:

Your contributions will bring these life-changing programs to life in just 3 months, igniting a revolution and influx of creativity in our communities. However, this impact extends far beyond the individual growth of our Artistpreneurs.

Artists have long been catalysts for

Profound experiences of joy
Individual & cultural enrichment, growth, and development
Emotional and intersectional ties within our communities
Magnificent (Individual, Social & Economic) Wealth & Returns

Yet, their invaluable contributions are often undervalued and under-compensated. The harsh reality is that the average artist's wage falls well below the national average salary, and many struggle to find sustainable employment opportunities within their field.

We are not only aiming to correct that - by equipping artists with the tools for financial success we are also laying the foundation for a true partnership between artists and society – a symbiotic relationship where both parties can thrive and benefit from one another. We are also creating a ripple effect that enriches our communities, drives economic growth, and fosters a deeper appreciation for the arts.

Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of something truly extraordinary. In just three months, your contributions will set this transformative journey in motion, paving the way for a future where artistry and creativity flourish and are synonymous with prosperity.

2 - 2-Month Fundraising Window:

We need your help to crowdsource the necessary funds within this short timeframe, ensuring we can make this vision a reality without delay. You can support us by donating the price of a cup of coffee ($5) and then ask FIVE of your friends to do the same!

Remember the street musician whose music lifted your spirits on a tough day? For just a few dollars in their tip jar, you reaped the benefits of their art. How about the free salsa class at that bar your friends love? Or the $15 you spent on a copy of your favorite book? In each instance, you gained wonderful benefits from artists and their art, albeit for a minimal investment.

We are asking you to pay that forward and support our mission of nurturing and empowering those artists to not just survive but thrive. Your generosity will have a profound impact, and we deeply appreciate your contributions!

As a token of our gratitude, we will:

Recognize all individual donors to this campaign on our website with a special thank you for helping us get off the ground.
