For artists / New Renaissance
New Renaissance is an online community for artists and creative people. Bring your finished work, experiments, writing and projects together, and build relationships with people who want to understand what you make.
Core participation is free. Membership is currently by invitation, for adults aged 18 and over.
Inside the community
Your profile brings artworks, posts, projects and Journal entries into one place. Add the context that a single image cannot carry: the materials you work with, the questions you return to and what you are developing next.
Follow artists whose work interests you, respond to a specific idea and begin a conversation. Collectors, curators, advisors and people from other creative disciplines participate in the same network.
Share a project or opportunity with a concrete purpose. Explain what you are making, the contribution you need, the location and the timing. A useful invitation gives someone enough context to decide whether to get involved.

A useful beginning
Choose a portrait or artwork for your profile, write a short biography and describe your interests. Tell people what you can contribute and what you are looking for.
Start with a piece you can talk about. Include its title, medium and dimensions where relevant, then explain one decision or question behind it.
Find a few people whose work you want to follow. Leave a specific comment or ask a considered question. Relationships develop through repeated attention.
