The information Creatives want, all in one place.
Nurturing a Creative Career isn't spent creating 100% of the time (bummer, we know.)
We're here to make finding the tools, resources, and opportunities you need simple, so you can spend more time doing what you love.
Career Tools For Modern Artists
DAC's Mission has always been to assist Artist of all kinds in their pursuit of full-time, sustainable, Creative Careers.
Emerge is the next evolution of that Mission.
Built by Artists, for Artists.
Gain access to an evolving collection of online lessons that address the key challenges creatives face as they grow their careers.
Through engaging videos, robust worksheets, premade templates, and connection with hundreds of likeminded creatives, Emerge goes beyond the typical online education platform.
Feel confident in tracking the details that often go overlooked–your event sales numbers, costs of materials, the status of your products, and more!
Learn to ask powerful questions of yourself and your work- then take your process to the next level.
Learn why (and HOW) creating Art in a series will help you become more collectable & prolific.
Learn how to take control of the narrative & build a business people easily connect with.
Learn to strike a balance between your passion, career, talents & customer needs in a way that feels authentic & totally natural.
Artists need & deserve financial stability- this lesson brings you (The Artist) into the equation and puts your needs front and center.
Learn how to ruthlessly purge, donate, store inventory, set up workflow stations & care for supplies the right way.
Learn how to utilize simple techniques that amplify your productivity AND unlock more free time in your schedule.
Group & Individual Creative Career Coaching
We all learn and grow in different ways. Keep yourself accountable while growing alongside other Artists in a Emerge Together Session or start a deep dive with Ryan in a one-on-one setting.
Vendor Season is upon us, ready to make the most out of it? This Emerge Together session tackles the biggest aspects of Vendor Events – pricing & inventory, displays & packaging, body language & presence and everything in between. Come together with like-minded Artists to learn, connect and grow!
You don't need to do it alone.
Emerge Together is perfect for Artists looking to connect & grow with motivated peers.
Maintain accountability and build relationships through weekly meetings and a dedicated online group (over 6 weeks.)
Each group explores a unique theme or area of focus in order to maintain common ground throughout each session. Come together with like-minded creatives to tackle topics with in-depth discussions, videos, workbooks, and more useful resources.
Need a more personal approach?
One on One Emerge Coaching is available for you to address whatever is most important to your Creative Career and its growth.
Work with Artist Development Director, Ryan Vai, to find clarity around your products, brand, schedule, finances, marketing, or whatever else matters to you most.
