The Community

“ We’re building a community, not a company” - John Boyd

The Artist

  • 16-25 

  • Has raw talent and vision, but not the refined tools or industry knowledge

  • Operates in a tight cohort with has no genuine community or place to “be”

  • Has a desire to make a difference in the world through their creative expression

The Mentor

  • The older version of the artist – 40+ who has walked the road and has a few things to share

  • Someone who sees the potential in others and can give guidance towards opportunities

  • The artist that works alone a lot of the time and wants to be in community themselves

  • The artist that has had great ‘success’, but is asking the “what was all this for? How can I give-back and help others?”

The Sponsor

  • Someone that had this support as a young person and knows the tangible benefits

  • The person that wishes they had a FlaxCo community as a young person, and wants the opportunity to make amends with their younger self

  • Those who recognize the unique value, the “right now” need, and the opportunity to lift and amplify young creatives to impact the arts and culture
