Last call: Shoebox membership for the rest of 2026

Hi friends,

Okay, this is a big one, so bear with me.

I'm putting more focus on less things, so I can actually be present in each one. That means Shoebox membership is moving exclusively to Substack after January 1, 2027, and my own focus is shifting to the nonprofit I run, Art and Cake. More galleries, more openings, more time actually seeing art instead of just talking about it. AND more ways to support artists!

Before that shift happens, I'm opening up Shoebox membership through the end of the year for a flat rate of $400. That's it. No monthly renewals to think about, just in for the rest of 2026.

Here's what that gets you:

- Monday Masterclass, live every week (we're deep in it right now and there's more good stuff coming the next couple months)

- Monthly Crit group

- Guest speakers

- Access to every past video and workshop I've recorded

- The Artist Field Guide (formerly Collected Wisdom), the full PDF, over 500 pages of career resources and tools artists actually use

- A few field trips this fall, including a behind the scenes look at Laguna Art Museum, getting into the diverse art world(s) most people never see from the outside

- Our Signal group chat

- Social media support

- Actual access to me, for actual support

- And honestly, more than I can fit in one email

If the full membership isn't the right fit but you still want in on Monday Masterclass, it started on Substack last week and it's $80 a year. Smaller commitment, same class. You can find it here: https://shoeboxarts.substack.com/p/find-your-place-week-1

A couple other things on the horizon, since you're on this list and I'd rather you hear it from me directly. Starting in 2027, I'll be doing private mentoring, just a handful of spots, for artists who want a closer, one on one relationship going forward. And starting February 2027, Shoebox Projects, my studio space at the Brewery, opens up for short term rentals, one to three months, whether you need to finish a body of work, use it as a showroom, or treat it like a mini residency.

But for right now, this is the last chance to be part of Shoebox membership the way it's existed for years. Come be part of it before it changes.

Want in? Email me at shoeboxartsla@gmail.com and I'll send over payment info and a full welcome to everything above.

Thank you for being on this list, and for being part of this community in whatever way you have been.
