How does this work?: After you register, you will receive an email with the invitation link to join the Cyber Studio. The link will remain the same for every session.

What will these cyber studio sessions look like?: At each session, the initial minutes will be spent with a warm-up creative prompt and mutual invitation check-in. We might choose to converse intermittently during the session, or we might all enjoy some focused quiet time (we’ll find our way, organically). Near the end of the session, we’ll gather back up to share what we worked on. There will be no instruction. There will be a host, though, often a Guild faculty member. The host is often willing to have their cameras on and focused on their projects, in case you want to take a break and simply watch art in process.

Do I have to show up for every session?: You are welcome to come and go at your convenience to our 2-hour cyber studio sessions. You are welcome to have your video on or off. If you want to play music, we’ll ask that you mute your microphone. Depending on the mood of the group, informal conversation will likely be part of our time together.

What can I expect to create?: That’s up to you! Chances are good, though, that you will create something since you’re doing it in community! Hope to see you in the Cyber Studio!

Queer Maker Studio is a weekly evening gathering for artists, creatives, and makers. In this low pressure cyber studio space, you are welcome to work on your own project, share about your current art practice, ask for feedback from the group, or simply hang out in the digital studio with the company of others. This space is for you! All are welcome. 

Each session will begin with a warm-up creative prompt and mutual invitation check-in. Whether intermittent conversation or focused silence follows, we’ll find our way organically as we move through the session. We’ll close our time together by discussing what we worked on during the studio. There will be no instruction. The facilitator may show their camera on their own project, in case you are curious about their art process or are needing a break from your own.

This cyber studio is a space for all artists, creatives, and makers. Queer artists and individuals are encouraged to join.
