    FAQs

    What specific outcomes can I expect from the Creative Growth Workshop?

    You can expect to develop a deeper connection with your artistic identity, history, and future direction. The Creative Growth Workshop is designed to help artists cultivate a more focused approach to their art and attain the right mental and emotional perspective for creative growth.

    How much time will I need to dedicate each week?

    All our courses are on-demand, so the time commitment is flexible and up to you. However, we recommend dedicating at least one hour per week once you start a course.

    Are your courses suitable for beginners or only for experienced artists?

    Our courses cater to artists of all experience levels. Beginners will build a strong foundation for their art, identity, and creative business, while experienced artists will discover techniques for refining, expanding, and transforming their practice.

    What kind of support will I receive during the 12-month commitment?

    We offer two 12-month partnerships:

    Creative Business Partnership

    You will receive all workshop lessons live in a small group setting, allowing for real-time questions and interactive learning that isn’t possible with on-demand courses. After the workshop, you will have ongoing support for the remainder of the 12-month period to implement the business plan you created. This includes monthly check-ins and workshops to help you maintain creative balance while managing the business side of your art.

    Creative Growth Partnership

    This partnership also provides all workshop lessons live in a small group format. After completing the workshop, you'll receive continued support throughout the 12 months to live out the creative growth plan you developed. Monthly check-ins and workshops are provided to support your growth journey.

    How personalized is the feedback and support?

    In both the Creative Business Partnership and Creative Growth Partnership, all feedback and coaching are personalized to align with your unique goals and growth trajectory over the next 12 months.

    Can I complete the course at my own pace?

    Yes, all courses and workshops are on-demand, allowing you to work at your own pace.

    What if I’m not sure about my creative identity yet?

    Then you're in the perfect place! Our identity courses are designed to help artists discover and live their creative identity authentically. At Open Creative, your unique creative voice will emerge and flourish.

    Are there any prerequisites or prior skills required?

    We have some basic criteria for participating in Open Creative Courses:

    1. You identify as an artist.

    2. You use some method of creativity to create something you call art.

    Suppose you’re a beginner without a solid artistic identity or method. In that case, we encourage you to join us and receive the support you need to develop your creative identity and find support while you build your creative methods.

    Your art or method of creativity doesn’t have to be ‘traditional art’ for Open Creative to support you. For example, if your art is landscaping, and you consider your methods or processes of landscaping to be creative, then you are an artist with a creative method for your art. You are more than welcome here.

    What resources or materials will be provided?

    Some courses include materials to support your learning, while others intentionally do not, encouraging you to create your own. We aim to help you develop your unique path to creative growth.

    Can I interact with other participants during the course?

    Absolutely! You’ll have opportunities to connect with both current and former students.

    Are there opportunities for one-on-one coaching?

    Yes, one-on-one coaching is available. If you're interested, please reach out to Nathan in the Open Creative Community.
