Start Your Own Artists' Colony

“Mobilize a group of people around a set of values and mission that drives the enterprise to new levels – to make ordinary people do extraordinary things. To give them the tools to build a great team.”

It's Easier Than It Sounds
Forming a meet-up group is easy but you want to make sure you cultivate an environment of like-mindedness, positivity, and support.  

Each member should be equally committed to the overall team objectives, and display a willingness to collaborate.  An ambivalent and uncompromising person can be toxic to the group’s dynamic.  

As a result, you may spend most of your time putting out fires rather than focusing on the important stuff.

A Few Simple Steps for Getting a Crew Together:

1. Ask people who you think will bring out your greatest potential and push you to be a better artist

2. Set a time and location and stick to it!

3. Make sure everyone is one the same page about the group's overall mission

4. Create a safe space where people can be vulnerable without being judged or ridiculed

5. Be consistent
