The Cowgirl Art Collective Community
A creative and business home for cowgirl artists who want to build profitable, skill-driven handmade businesses using The Maker Method™
-
Our Purpose:
The Cowgirl Art Collective Community exists to:
- Support cowgirl and western artists across mediums
- Help artists monetize their work sustainably
- Provide clarity without hustle culture
- Create connection without competition
- Feed the Collective retail space, boxes, events, and retreats
This is about legacy, not noise.
The Community Is Coming - Start Here in the Meantime
The Cowgirl Art Collective Community is opening soon, and it’s being built to support western artists and makers who want to grow real, sustainable creative businesses.
If you want to be part of it when the doors open, make sure you’re on the waitlist.
And while you’re waiting, we didn’t want you sitting still.
We created the Free Maker Method™ Starter Pack to help you start thinking beyond just making, and begin building a creative business that can live online too.
Inside, you’ll get guidance to help you
• See new income possibilities in the skills you already have
• Start shaping offers beyond physical products
• Think like a creative business owner, not just a makerThis is the same kind of foundation we’ll be expanding on inside the Community.
- Support cowgirl and western artists across mediums
