MENTORSHIP & MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY
Momentum is the home for committed working
artists who want more…
~ more sales, more opportunities & more clarity on where their career is actually going.
This is where you build career momentum with support, guidance and community.
You've got the talent. You've got the artwork.
You've put in the hours.
But if you're being honest with yourself ~ you're still figuring it out alone. Googling things you should probably know by now. Posting into the void and wondering why nothing seems to stick. Watching other artists get the exhibitions, the collectors, the commissions…and quietly wondering, what am I missing?
Here's the thing nobody tells you:
It's not your art that's holding you back. It's the absence of the right community & support.
The artists who are building real, sustainable careers aren't necessarily more talented than you. They're more connected, more supported and more accountable.
They've found their people ~ and those people changed everything.
Momentum exists to be that room for you.
So, get ready to buckle up, because with all of us in your corner, your journey is about to get a whole lot more exciting.
Let's dive in, take action, kick some goals & start making those art career dreams a reality – together!

In truth, between knowing what to do
and actually doing it, there's a gap.
And when you start making courageous moves towards your dreams, those nagging doubts and fears might come along and try to crash the party.
We're here to help you move through them & hold your hand, so that you can keep moving forward.
Let's face it: Success in the art industry isn't just about having great art & good strategy; it's about keeping that mindset & energetic game strong too.
And who said you have to go it alone?
Imagine a crew of like-minded creative souls, taking action, cheering each other on, and having a blast while they're at it. That's the kind of vibe we're bringing to our Momentum Membership community!
Is this for you?
Momentum Collective is for you if:
✦ You're a working visual artist who has already made $3.5K+ from your art (or you're a Going Pro graduate ready for what's next)
✦ You're done trying to figure out the business side of your art career from random YouTube videos and Instagram tips
✦ You want to be around artists who are actually moving ~ and who'll inspire & push you to do the same
✦ You're ready to commit to your career, not just dream about it…
✦ You know that consistency, community and expert guidance are what's been missing
Momentum Collective is NOT for you if…
✗ You're looking for a place to lurk without participating
✗ You're not yet making money from your art (our program Going Pro is the perfect starting point — [click here]
✗ You want overnight results without doing the work
The standard is high because the results are real 🔥
Introducing
The Momentum Collective
Mentorship & Membership
The career catalyst.
Momentum Collective is a curated mentorship & membership for working visual artists who are ready to stop winging it and start building something real.
Every month, you get expert training, live coaching, industry access and a room full of artists who are just as serious about their careers as you are. No fluff. No generic advice that doesn't apply to artists. Just the real stuff ~ from people who actually live and breathe the art world.
This is the ongoing support, strategy, and accountability that most artists never get ~ and that almost all successful ones quietly have.
MONTHY LIVE Q&A & MENTORING SESSIONS
Bring your real questions, your current challenges, your stuck points. Claire & Tom facilitate a hot-seat style coaching & mentoring call where you get tailored guidance ~ not generic advice ~ from someone who deeply understands both the art world and the business of building a creative career. Can't make it live? Every session is recorded and waiting for you in the portal.
These sessions are held on Wednesday’s at 6pm Melbourne, Australia time (AEST/AEDT)
ONLINE COMMUNITY SUPPORT HUB
Your always-on home base between live sessions. Share wins, ask questions, get feedback, find collaborators and connect with artists who get it ~ because they're in it too. This is the community you didn't know you needed until you're in it.
The Full Momentum Library. Every recorded guest talk, past training, and mini program ~ all of it, on demand, whenever you need it. A growing vault of practical art career knowledge that you can dip into any time.
LIVE MASTERCLASSES & GUEST INTERVIEWS
Each quarter you’ll receive practical, actionable trainings built specifically for visual artists by people who've lived it. You’ll also receive guest talks during the year with insider access to gallery owners, collectors, successful artists and arts industry leaders ~ the conversations that most artists never get to have. Tom's BenchTalk network runs deep, and we bring those connections straight into the Momentum room.
These sessions will be held on a Wednesday x1-2 p/quarter at 6pm Melbourne, Australia time (AEST/AEDT)
Times, however may vary based on the availability of the guest. Recordings will be available in the portal
3 MONTH GOAL SETTING, ALIGNMENT & VISIONING CHECK-INS
Every three months we stop, zoom out and map the road ahead. Where are you going? What's working? What needs to change? These sessions keep you from getting lost in the day-to-day and ensure you're always moving with intention
These sessions will occur every 3 months on at 6pm Melbourne, Australia time (AEST/AEDT)
