❓Who are they?

Collaborators make up the majority of our Artist Community - currently around 160 people. These are artists who want to build community and develop their practices through their connection with CDS. They are encouraged to feed into the collective vision led by Activators, and are invited to join Artist Community Gatherings four times per year. Check the home page for the next event!

✅ What is the commitment?

There are no specific commitments, other than signing up to the **Community Culture.** Collaborators live all around the country, and some might not be able to come to the building very often, or ever, which is ok!

Collaborators get access to most of the same benefits as Activators, including space discounts, ability to host WTF Thursdays, and access to online workshops and training. See the benefits here.
