Let’s cultivate creative communities! Every other Thursday you can join Lachlan Thompson, the editor of Fortuna Major Press, on Zoom for Collage Club. We’ll spend our time talking and making art together. This is a space to connect with creatives across mediums and develop your craft in a supportive community.
Sample Collage Club Structure:
We’ll begin with a brief check-in/introduction, open up the floor for people to suggest creative prompts, have art-making time, and then open up the floor once more for people to share announcements of events or projects before we part ways.
Pricing:
Fortuna Collage Club is a free program supported by sliding-scale slots. No one will be turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF). When registering, you may select free registration or a paid registration tier. Your paid registration will be used to support costs associated with outreach efforts, technology maintenance, and facilitation. Pay weekly or occasionally.
How To Register:
To register for Collage Club, visit the events section of the Fortuna Major Store and select the Collage Club listing. Follow the prompts on the page to select your registration tier. You must follow this process for every Collage Club session you wish to attend. Registration closes the day before each Club meeting.
How To Join:
A half-hour before each Club, an email will be sent out from fortunamajorcreativeco@gmail.com with a Zoom link to join. Please add this email to your contacts list to ensure emails are delivered and check your spam folder for each session you attend.
Accessibility:
Our reader will be wearing a microphone for all Collage Club meetings to enhance sound quality. Zoom offers auto-generated captions for accessibility which must be manually turned on by users individually. To enable auto-generated captions (live transcription):
