Artistic Affinity Collective is a community I launched in January 2024. It currently exists as a group chat but is and a newsletter on substack you can suscribe to here. It comprises artists and art appreciators who seek to become not only better artists but also better human beings. Some members have had entries accepted in international art competitions. It currently has 89 members.

Classic Art Society is a community I founded in November 2024. Originally established on X, it has now transitioned to a dedicated chat platform ahead of the discontinuation of X Communities in May 2026.

With 1,300 members, its mission remains to share and celebrate timeless masterpieces, honoring the Renaissance as the pinnacle of art and spirituality while preserving a legacy of beauty and inspiration. In this new space we emphasize genuine conversation: sharing artworks with personal reflections, asking questions about meaning and technique, exploring how these works remain relevant today, and discussing the broader legacy of Western art — who carries it forward and what should be preserved.

We also occasionally host live audio conversations (Spaces on X) on specific artists, movements, or themes. No prior experience is needed.
