Overview
Back Creative Communities Online is a participatory initiative designed to strengthen online art and collaboration networks. By pooling resources from donors and partners, this project supports artists, researchers, and practitioners who are building inclusive, sustainable digital spaces for creativity. Funds sustain open collaboration spaces, mentorship networks, and accessible tools that lower barriers to entry for artists around the world.
The aim is straightforward: empower creative people to work together across disciplines, share process and results openly, and nurture a culture where collaboration is as valued as individual achievement. This initiative prioritizes transparency, practical outcomes, and a durable, community-led approach to funding and governance.
Why Your Support Matters
Your generosity helps transform a shared vision into real, measurable outcomes. By supporting this initiative, you contribute to a global, collaborative ecosystem where ideas can grow beyond individual networks. The impact goes beyond funding brief projects; it enables sustained partnerships, ongoing learning, and more equitable access to creative opportunities.
- Global creative access – resources reach artists and collaborators regardless of geography, language, or background.
- Cross-disciplinary collaboration – projects that blend art, technology, and research become possible through shared tools and spaces.
- Fair compensation and mentorship – contributors receive recognition and guidance to develop durable practices and resilient practices.
- Transparent outcomes – work, learnings, and results are documented and shared back with the community.
This effort is grounded in a shared purpose: to build creative communities online that endure, adapt, and thrive together. By supporting the initiative, you help sustain processes that empower artists to experiment, iterate, and collaborate with clarity and consent at every step.
