Grow as an artist with real critique, real mentors, and real friends

Art Club is the online community for self-taught artists.

Six professional artists in your corner, a supportive community that shows up every week, and the kind of honest feedback that actually moves your artwork forward.

Build a sustainable art practice

Feedback from friends and family are frustrating. You can rely on our community to get you prompt, encouraging answers.

Our members are of all ages, from all over the world. Some have been with us for 6 years!

Get Gallery Representation

“One of the biggest benefits was having my portfolio reviewed before submitting it to a gallery. That feedback was instrumental in helping me secure gallery representation.

Beyond the professional growth, Art Club is simply a lot of fun. It’s an inspiring community of artists who genuinely want to see one another succeed.”

The personalized guidance from the teaching staff, combined with the support and encouragement of fellow artists, has accelerated my growth in ways I didn’t expect.

Your first paid gig

“I just completed not only my first mural, but my very first paid gig as an artist. I feel really good about it.

I know that all the learning I’ve done with Art Club the past two years has had an enormous impact on my art.

Not only have I gotten much stronger in art fundamentals, but I’ve learned so much about the business side of art, and have received so much encouragement in Art Club that I finally felt brave enough to dip a toe in.”

Stop getting stuck

Working by yourself is lonely and discouraging. Progress is slow, you lack accountability, and you’re constantly second guessing yourself.

We fill your skill gaps so you know exactly what to do next. You’ll be able to make quick, decisive actions with confidence with our expert guidance.

Level up with galleries

“I just got my first invitation to be featured in an exhibit! A county near where I live has a gallery where they feature national artists. I am so blown away! It’s very exciting to be found and asked for something like this!”

In Art Club, I have the support of other artists as well as the teaching staff to help me make progress quickly on my work. Getting feedback in real time during live group mentoring sessions has been immeasurably helpful in catching things that need to be corrected, or even just floating ideas about how to proceed.”

Your first artist residency

“With Art Club’s help, I’ve just completed the first year of my BFA at art school and my first artist residency.”

We share the bad drawings, the ‘ugly stage’ of paintings and more. You aren’t expected to be at a specific age, level or ability in Art Club, art is for everyone.

I’ve now achieved the milestone of no longer being afraid to call myself an artist.”

Sell your first print

“I made my first print sale! Art Club helped provide me with the motivation to push my shop launch over the finish line. 

When I was stuck on something I was able to post my question to the group instead of using ‘thinking on it’ as a reason to procrastinate.”

Simplify your learning

“I had already been making art for sometime, but I often got caught up in discouraging thoughts and wondering if I was doing things ‘right.’

Art Club helped give me structure and direction in how to go forward, which I feel I desperately needed.”

See what art school training is really like

Our Art Club Study Plans consolidate your learning. We enrich your learning with wellness, art history, contemporary art, and more.

“I use Art Club to be encouraged and inspired by seeing what other artists are doing and the progress they make. I get a space to try things, and get moral support along my own path.”

Stay motivated

“Each critique on a live group mentoring session gave me energy and drive to try again.

I don’t hesitate now to do 5 or 10, or keep going to 25 variations.”

Get accepted to an exhibition

“Participating in the art dares allowed me to have works on hand when an unexpected opportunity arose. Without Art Club, I would not have had enough works to choose from!”

My daughter sent me a link to apply for a local exhibition just hours before the deadline. had several pieces accepted!

Sell with higher prices

“I had a customer return for more illustrations and omg… the order was the biggest one I’ve ever had. I had raised my prices too, so I was really glad that didn’t deter them.

Ever since I joined Art Club, I’ve become way more confident as an artist. It’s been amazing to have a private community where I know it’s a safe and supportive environment to ask for advice and critiques.”

I’m no longer afraid to get out of my comfort zone, and I can push myself even further than before. 

The art goals that used to feel confusing and hard to reach, now feel extremely accessible and attainable after getting so much valuable feedback from Prof Lieu and the teaching artists in Art Club!”

Exhibit AND sell

“My show at a restaurant in the East Village of NYC has been a very exciting experience. 

Art Club has been completely supportive to my growth and encouragement to get on out there.”

I sold a few of my paintings already. A real plus.”

Six professional artists in your corner

Sales happen when you get answers from pros who have in the trenches experience.

“I also received valuable critique on my website. More than tutorials, it’s the honest clarification of doubts—about pricing, proposals, or practice—that only comes from peers and mentors who’ve experienced it themselves.”

FAQ

I’m self-taught, will Art Club be too advanced for me?

Not at all, learning is not a one size fits all situation. We meet you where you’re at to achieve your goals.

Do I have to always be making art to participate?

Nope! So much learning happens when you’re not making. Researching art supplies and asking questions are just as important.

“Without Prof Lieu’s patience and diligent assistance and the extensive, thorough written instructions on Discord, I would never have been able to join Art Club.”

I can’t participate consistently, should I still join?

No one in Art Club is consistent with their participation. We emphasize building a sustainable practice, instead of one where you feel guilty for skipping a few days of work.

I’ve never used Discord, will I get help?

Many members are using Discord for the first time. We will hold your hand every step of the way.
