PROGRAM DETAILS
Artist Identity Workshop is a program to help you anchor your creative practice with alignment and self-expression.
Over eight weeks, we’ll uncover the anchors and references that serve as your personal north stars — the influences, values, and inspirations that keep you aligned to yourself.
Together, we’ll map your artistic constellation: a set of guiding principles and touchstones that ground your practice, clarify your identity, and help you share your work with authenticity.
