Fortuna
Collage Collective
Inspired by the work of collage collectives worldwide such as Paris, Edinburgh, and the Twin Cities: Fortuna Collage Collective is a hub for creatives to connect globally through art groups, monthly creative challenges, online showcasing, and organized collaborations.
Bi-Weekly Art Group
Every other Thursday you can join us on Zoom for a drop-in art-making group (registration through the Fortuna Major store). We’ll spend our time cutting, pasting, and delighting in our work. This is a space to connect with artists across mediums and develop your craft in a supportive community.
Monthly Creative Invitations
Create a collage or mixed media piece based on the month's selected image [see below]. Both digital and analog works are welcome. Post your finished artwork on Instagram with the hashtag #FortunaCollageClub and tag us @fortunamajorpress. On the last day of the month, we’ll share some of our favorites on our social media and tag you!
Annual Online Exhibition
Showcasing your talented work to an international audience. In December we’ll open submissions for an online exhibition that will launch in January of the new year. Submit your creations of the year (especially your responses to our creative invitations).
