Join a supportive international artistic community. Grow your network. Receive dedicated guidance from The Artist and the Others.
Why a TAATO Membership?
Artists thrive when they have the right support, knowledge, and community around them.
Our membership brings artists together across borders to share experiences, reflect on challenges, receive tailor feedback on Artist Statement, Portfolio, Applications, and build meaningful professional connections.
What do you receive as a member?
Monthly Collective Meetings
By joining, you gain access to a monthly online meeting where—together with other artists—we discuss real challenges, share pivotal knowledge, and connect with an international community.
Each month, two artists have the opportunity to present their work, introduce their practice, and receive feedback or support from the group.
The community functions as a safe, generous and supportive space, designed to help you grow your practice with confidence.
All meetings are facilitated by Jessica Capra, who will guide the conversations and provide mentoring during the sessions.
Meetings are recorded exclusively for members, so you can rewatch them anytime.
Individual Coaching
Every member receives 1 hour of individual coaching, which you can split into shorter sessions (2×30 minutes, 3×20 minutes, 4×15 minutes).
This is your time to ask questions, gain clarity, receive tailored advice, and build strategies for your artistic career.
