Hello. Welcome! I’m so glad you are a part of my Facebook group!
This group is open to ALL interested in building a joyful and self-compassionate art practice. We share our struggles and successes with art and creativity, latest artworks and creations and encourage each other along the way.
To create a safe space for sharing, I have a few guidelines for members of the group. If someone doesn’t abide by the guidelines, then I will need to remove them from the group.
**Please note that these guidelines are constantly evolving. Check back often!**
---------------------------------------------
Do you a new guideline I should add? Please contact me with your suggestion.
Please do not send private messages to me. I prefer to communicate via email to keep things organized and make sure I can respond to your questions in a timely manner. Thanks for understanding!
---------------------------------------------
1. BE KIND AND ENCOURAGING TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS IN THE GROUP
This is an incredibly kind, non-judgemental, helpful and compassionate group. No disparaging comments on others posts. Also, be kind in your comments in relation to your own artwork. Let’s keep those inner art critics out of the group!
2. AVOID COMPARING YOUR WORK TO OTHERS
Everyone is on a different place in their artistic journey. Be kind to your own artistic journey and let’s keep the comparison energy out of the group.
3. PLEASE KEEP POSTS ON-TOPIC FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO ART, CREATIVITY, ART PRACTICE AND RELATED THEMES.
Posts that are not in some way related to the mission of the group will be deleted. If you notice posts that are off topic, please notify me by marking the post. I can’t be in the group 24/7 and we are all on different time zones, so your help is appreciated.
4. KEEP THE PRIVACY OF THE GROUP
Keep what others share confidential.
5. NO PROMOTIONS. NO POSTS:
of your website, other social media accounts, or Facebook Group or Page
with affiliate links or links to your products
with a thread asking for members to submit guest posts, interviews, etc. to your site
asking for members’ emails or to ask members to email or PM you
of surveys
6. NO PRIVATE MESSAGE TO OTHERS IN THE GROUP WITH UNSOLICITED BUSINESS PROMOTIONS.
Please do not use our group as a place to send unsolicited promos to people in the community. If they chatted with you in a thread about wanting to work together, then sending a private message should be fine. However, if it is discovered that you are sending PMs to people without their permission, then you will be removed from the group.
If you have any concerns or questions, please contact me rather than post in the group. Thank you for being here. It is amazing to be able to connect across this world through art and creativity.
