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.

As an artist, you’ll inevitably get stuck, feel disappointed with your art, and struggle to stay accountable.

You’ve binged all the videos, but there are still answers you can’t find, and you don’t know what to do next.

Live conversations with in warm, supportive community are where you’ll get unstuck, have easy ways to stay accountable, and make major strides.

Land your first paid art 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.

Coffee art club

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.”

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!”

Stop learning all by yourself

Creating art on your own is lonely, slow and difficult. Learning is fun and easy when you’re with other artists who commiserate with your challenges, and who want to see you succeed.

“Art Club reset my mind frame. I gave myself to the experience, to trying new things. I’ve now achieved the milestone of no longer being afraid to call myself an artist.”

Stay accountable easily

“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 your first art 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.

Make fast artist friends

Finding an art community isn’t easy. You may feel like you don’t fit in, or the community might be unreliable. We are prompt to reply, reliable, and ready to help with your concerns any time.

Trying to connect with artists is tough, and you’re unlikely to foster a strong relatipnship.

You’ll make fast art friends in Art Club. We have members from all over the world, some of whom have been with us for 6 years.

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.”

Structure 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.”

The art school experience you never had

Many programs are one offs: a workshop, a course. There is no continuity and your questions go unanswered. Another course means starting over with a new instructor.

You’ll work with professional artists who are deeply invested in your progress and who want to see you succeed.

Six professional artists in your corner

Most art platforms are 1 artist teaching 1 specific topic or technique. Our staff of 6 professional artists provides a wealth of expertise.

Enrich your art with our contrasting opinions and in the trenches experience. Our members are from all over the world, you’re learn just as much from them, as you will from us.

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. I was able to meet the deadline and had several pieces accepted!

Sell at your exhibition

“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.”

“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.”

Simplify & consolidate your learning

Our Art Club Study Plans consolidate and organize your learning. With our expert guidance, you’ll never need to wonder what to do next. Track your progress in an simple format.

“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.”

Prof Lieu is always available to connect you with other artists who have similar styles or videos for your pets development. There really is nothing like Art Club.”

Enrich & expand your learning

Being an artist is much more than skills. Our holistic approach includes wellness, critique, art history, contemporary art, and more.

“Art Club gives me instant access to tools and tips and a way to learn to develop as an individual artist in my own personal style. Being a member also prompts you to do things differently than you would normally and pushes you to try new things.”

Level up your professional development

Through Art Club, I’ve learned things I could never get from the internet—direct, lived insights about the NYC art ecosystem: how gallery representation actually works, how artists navigate video making for portfolios/social media, and how to build a professional website.”

We love experiments and new art supplies

You’ve probably felt pressure to find your style, and focus on one thing.

In Art Club you don’t need a style. Think about us as a sandbox where you can play without any pressure, and have fun!

“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 enjoy all the instruction and feedback I’ve been getting on my art work.”

“I feel we have developed real friendships and a support network that is always there for you. This is a unique and special online art home that you’ll never want to leave.”

Why I started Art Club

I started Art Club because I wanted to establish an inclusive, supportive space where learning would be efficient and robust.

Being part of an established community takes everything out of your hands. All you need to do is show up!

Our creativity is most vibrant and lively when we are surrounded by other artists with whom we can learn from, and be inspired by.

I’m a total beginner, will Art Club be too advanced for me?

Not at all! There are many beginners in Art Club who just got started with art who you’ll be able to connect to.

clara deepti

We make an effort to meet every artist where they are at. We want to provide support that matches your skill set and goals.

When we are directing you to our resources, we always consider where you are, and what will be the best fit for what you’re looking to do.

I work in 3D (+ other media) and I don’t see a lot of people making artwork like mine on this page, will I fit in?

That’s exactly the reason why we want you in Art Club! The diversity of art media that members work with tremendously enriches the artwork you get to see and engage with.

clara

The great part of being in an artist community is that you can learn about media you’ve never even heard of. At the same time, you can pick up new information on media that you are already familiar with.

Do I have to always be making artwork to participate?

Nope! Often people assume that to improve, making the art is the best way to learn, and that the more time spent doing that, the better.

That’s not the case at all; so much learning happens when you’re not making the art.

banner mia painting illustration

Researching art supplies, learning about art history, reading art books, listening to discussions, and asking questions are all just as important as the making.

Plus, life will always get in the way at some point!

I’m worried that I won’t have enough time to participate in Art Club, should I still join?

Don’t worry about maintaining consistency in Art Club activities! You don’t have to participate all the time. We want Art Club to be a chill learning experience where you can do things at your own pace.

I have never used Discord before, will I get help?

discord small icon

Lots of members use Discord for the first time when they join. We will hold your hand every step of the way to get you started.

We provide ongoing tech support, and have a fabulous mod team who are ready to help you in a prompt and efficient manner.

Discord is new to me. Prof Lieu went out of her way to help set me up on the application ahead of the live session.

She answered my questions about the app and resolved technical issues promptly. As a result, the use of Discord went smoothly.
