A SUPPORTIVE ECOSYSTEM FOR ARTISTS TO ADVANCE CAREER, BUSINESS & PURPOSE.
OUR PARTS
Our consultancy builds capacity to strategize, pivot, and advance career, business & brand. We understand artists, and we understand business. The fusion of these two lenses is what brings you further.
The residency tangibly impacts our artists career and business trajectories through personalized, structured tracks. This journey occurs in synergy with a collaborative peer cohort that builds community, reinforces accountability, and produces an original exhibition celebrating our program achievements.
WAABEL's core strength is an evolving membership community that, together, cultivates authentic spaces to fuel ideas and bring artists further. This is community, reimagined. Through channels that transcend geography, background, and discipline, while cultivating a living ecosystem of artists creating together.
Our community will leverage technology and digital assets to advance the arts and challenge its status quo. Through partnerships and collaborative planning, we will support innovative marketplace applications that change the landscape on a global scale.
OUR DREAMS
BUILD CAPACITY TO CREATE IN THE REAL WORLD.
We dream of a barrier-free path for all artists to access top-tier guidance and cultivate creative communities. Our efforts are specifically in service to traditionally underserved and emerging artist communities nationwide.
