The Garden

A flourishing artistic economy.

Creatives find each other and make the work together. Patrons back it. Partners open their doors. Hosts run the tables where it all starts. Nothing here gets made alone.

The Garden is the founding Christian creative community on the platform, with one mission: love our neighbors through our craft.

Who it's for

For creatives

Show your work. Find your people. Get paid.

Get found by what you make and where you are. Post paid or passion projects, find collaborators, and set crowdfunding targets with real deadlines. Join a community. Find a coach. You keep 90% of what a backer gives you.

For patrons

Back someone or something you believe in.

Sponsor a project you believe in. Gift memberships to the creatives around you. Offer a venue, gear, an introduction — every kind of backing is credited, and your name goes on the finished work.

For community partners

Invest in creatives. They fill the room.

Venues, businesses, nonprofits, churches — post paid work, cover memberships, or share your space. Creatives bring people in.

For hosts

Bring your community. Earn from what you teach.

Run a paid or free community — a cohort, a class, a creative table. Offer spiritual or creative coaching. You keep 90% of what you sell, hosting is free, and your people can apply to a grant fund.

Grant funds

Half of every membership funds grants for other creatives. Members propose projects, and a review team decides. Communities can run funds of their own.
