Discover tips from our creator community.
Think outside the box
CraftJam founder Nora Abousteit wanted to recreate an authentic workshop experience online — while also widening access for those who might not have art materials at home. The solution? CraftJam enhanced their online courses by sending curated collections of crafting supplies to their attendees, creating a fun and immersive virtual experience.
Create an inclusive online space
Volunteer-run network QTI (Queer, Transgender, and Intersex) Coalition of Colour hosts a range of online workshops on self-care and mental health. To make everyone comfortable, attendees are welcome to keep microphones and cameras off to help those with social anxiety feel encouraged to participate — resulting in an inclusive online space.
Experiment with new ideas
Arts and culture magazine BOMB discovered that online events were a perfect way to experiment with new possibilities to connect with their audience. At one online workshop with visual artist Dindga McCannon, many participants sent in the collages and sculptures they had made, growing the magazine’s connection with its creative community.
