Maryland ARTISTS TOGETHER
MD Artist Collective, aka The Collective, is the creative collective built by Maryland visual artists for Maryland visual artists. Grow your craft, build your business, and find your people—all in one place.
Connect with
YOUR PEOPLE
You're managing supplies, platforms, social media, pricing, submissions, and imposter syndrome—often at the same time, often at midnight. Being a working artist in Maryland is a wild ride. And most of the time, you're navigating it without a roadmap.
We built the Maryland Artist Collective to change that.
A creative community with a BUSINESS BACKBONE
MD Artist Collective is a peer-powered membership community where Maryland visual artists grow together—sharing knowledge, building skills, and showing up for each other. We're a living, breathing collective that also happens to bring you the Artist Open Studios Tour.

Art truly shines brighter when shared with friends, especially when paired with valuable business insights…all algorithm-free!
Beyond the resources The Collective offers, I’ve really enjoyed the conversations and feedback from other artists across the state. The Collective is building a beautiful camaraderie among local artists while providing the information and resources artists truly need.
