Creative Fuel was born out of a monthly newsletter written by Anna Brones. The newsletter morphed into a weekly workshop, which brought the opportunity to gather together with like-minded creative souls. Through that process, it was clear that there was a need for cultivating everyday creativity, and supporting each other in creative endeavors. Creative Fuel Collective was born. This new evolution includes a a podcast, virtual workshops, and all kinds of content devoted to creativity of all kinds. If you want to get a feel for the driving values behind Creative Fuel Collective, read our manifesto.

A lot of the Creative Fuel Collective content on the website, as well as the podcast, is free and available to everyone. You can support that work by becoming a supporter or member, and help to ensure that everything on this site keeps going, and helps us to build our community. We believe in paying working artists and other creatives. At the end of the day, we are artists supporting artists, and your membership dollars help us to build a more sustainable creative economy that’s built on the concepts of community and support. Everyone who contributes to Creative Fuel Collective is properly compensated, whether they are teaching, speaking on the podcast, or helping us to create new content. Building a robust member community also helps us dream about other potential things we might be able to do someday. Offer artist scholarships or creative stipends? Put together online art shows? Make video tutorials? Paint murals? Publish books? The sky is the limit, and you being here helps to support all of that.

Every month there is a free newsletter and prompts, we'll be buiilding out creative inspiration on our blog, and thanks to JAM Collective we also host a weekly workshop, held on Wednesdays at 12pm PT on Zoom. Consider it a little lunch-break art hour. We're also planning on doing pay-what-you-can events and programming in the future.
