Being an artist can be a solitary journey. I created the Artist Alliance to help empower artists to move ahead both creatively and professionally through a supportive community, curated exhibitions, challenges, valuable resources and our new residency program. Nothing makes me happier than when artists feel empowered to take on the challenges of the art world, and I celebrate every win with members.

Juried or curated by artists or art professionals, we host a new exhibition each month. Members always earn 100% on sales and pay no gallery commissions. Best selling shows in 2020 were Small Works and Wild Lands. Our exhibitions are online on our public website: www.ArtistAlliance.space and available to the world at large.
As a frequent juror, mentor, instructor and portfolio reviewer, Gallerist Jen Tough has created a library for members (that's always growing!), including Killer Artist Websites, All About Art Galleries, Social Media Toolbox, All About Juried Shows, The Art of Selling Art and many more.
Overseen by Jen Tough, our new residency program runs for 3 months, 4 times a year. State your intentions, give and receive feedback, post your progress, and add it to your resume.
Our live community events include Second Sunday Critiques, Virtual Open Studios and Coaching Calls (mentoring sessions).
Our challenges occur each month and include a closing exhibition if it's an art challenge. Every participant is included in the exhibition, and all the work for sale (members earn 100%).
Each week one eligible member of the community is selected to be Artist of the Week and promoted on our channels.
Unlike most online communities or groups, we love when our members promote what they're up to! We encourage our members to share their latest event, show or workshop to grow their audience and benefit from the networking available to members.
Our bi-annual, 5-month long challenge has the goal of each participant getting 100 rejections! This is where the benefits of a supportive community really shines! Whether it's a rejection from a juried show, an ignored email from a gallery or any other type of art-related rejection, this voluntary challenge will take the sting out of a rejection and turn it into a win!
Share your work, and get feedback and support from our friendly artist community! Our members are eager to share ideas, upcoming exhibitions, tips and tricks, and of course, feedback on each other's work.
The BASIC Method is a time tracking and accountability system developed for visual thinkers. What makes this program unique (and beneficial), is it defines the FIVE key areas visual artists must focus on to accelerate their careers. This is a 20 week program offered twice per year.
"Wanted to let you know that the BASIC program has kept me focused and on track and after only about 1-1/2 months of incorporating it into my MO, I’ve already gotten representation!"
—Current Member, Marcia S.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY
"The Artist Alliance and membership in "the tribe", has been a growing experience for me and perfectly timed. I recently relocated from Colorado where I began my artist life, to San Francisco. Consequently, I have a great need to learn of and to connect with a new artist community. Jen Tough is so knowledgeable and committed to sharing whatever she can to help artists to help themselves. Jen models a supportive attitude -- I feel that members follow her lead and do the same. Because of this, there is the bonus of learning from all tribal members from across our country, and if not already, from beyond. Perfect!!" —Jean Brodie
