You’ve tried joining art groups before.
You joined the Facebook group. You lurked for a bit. You maybe posted once (brave!). Then you forgot about it entirely until it popped up in your feed six months later—sponsored by an ad for resin molds you don’t remember Googling.
Here’s the thing: it’s not that you’re flaky.
It’s that most online creative spaces aren’t built for actual creative work.
They’re noisy, confusing, or weirdly salesy.
Or they’re so empty it feels like you just walked into an abandoned digital food court with fluorescent lighting and zero snacks.
That’s why I built something different.
The Problem With Most Artist Communities Online
Let’s be real:
Facebook groups are often more about promotion than participation
Course forums die the second the class ends
Discords can feel overwhelming (and oddly Gen Z for some of us)
And local art groups? Amazing—but maybe not always accessible
Most creative folks don’t need another place to scroll.
They need a place to make. To plan. To get unstuck.
So What Is the Minted Makers Co-op?
The Co-op is a virtual space designed specifically for creative progress—without the overwhelm.
It’s part cozy retreat, part quiet studio, and part business coworking lounge.
No algorithms. No “what should I post today?” panic. No endless PDFs.
Just structure, space, and support to help you move forward—your way.
What Makes the Co-op Actually Work
Unlike other groups, the Co-op isn’t just a hangout. It’s a working environment that meets you where you’re at. Here’s how it’s set up:
The Lobby
This is your welcome mat. It’s where you’ll find the full Co-op schedule, links to rooms, announcements, and friendly check-ins.
The vibe? Think “camp counselor with a clipboard and snacks.”
The Studio
A quiet space with daily creative prompts, embedded lofi music, and the invitation to make something—just for the joy of it.
No critiques. No pressure. Just process.
The Office
This is where we get down to creative business—without burnout.
Each week features a focus theme with achievable, needle-moving tasks.
???? This week’s theme? “Build a Simple Product or Service Menu”
We’re helping creatives turn their skills into clear offerings they can actually sell. (Without needing a 37-page business plan or a Canva meltdown.)
The Cabin
The cozy challenge room. Home to guided events like the Fresh Mint Sprint—a 10-day series designed to help you take small, impactful steps toward your goals.
It’s like a creative bootcamp, minus the yelling.
Who’s the Co-op for?
Creatives ready to earn income from their work (but don’t know where to start)
Artists tired of spinning in isolation
People who want progress—but refuse to sacrifice their sanity to get it
Whether you’re a painter, maker, writer, or creative business dabbler, you’re welcome here
Come See It For Yourself
No sign-up. No pitch funnel.
Just a cozy, click-and-visit kind of space where you can explore what’s happening and join when it feels good.
Pop in today and check out the focus in The Office: “Build a Simple Product or Service Menu.”
The Lobby has the schedule. The doors are open. And yes—you can sit with us.
