Women Artists Connect

Women Artists Connect is for hobbyists learning and making together.

Why you should join: Get peer support, practical playbooks and live rooms inside Mighty Networks.

The one-liner

Nancy Murphy Spicer's community helping women artists build studio practice.

What they actually sell

Women Artists Connect is a Mighty Network hosted by artist, coach and educator Nancy Murphy Spicer. Public copy promises learning, connection and support so women artists can get work into the world. Members can take BUILD Your Studio Practice, an eight-module self-paced course with assignments posted for feedback, then apply for The Art Group, a year-long bi-weekly smaller cohort she facilitates. Future options are teased. Pricing is not crisply dissected on the welcome page.

Who pays and why

Women artists who feel isolated in the studio and unsure how to sustain a practice or share work. The fear is making art alone forever. They join for peer eyes and a coach with serious teaching and exhibition mileage. Assignment posting with peer response turns a self-paced course into a living studio critique habit.

Where the members come from

Nancy's teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, coaching practice and exhibition history are the trust engine. The Mighty Network is the home for courses and groups around that reputation.

What's holding it back

The best offer (The Art Group) sits behind completing a course and applying. If BUILD feels long and the cohort is selective, many members may stall in the outer room. Clearer public packaging of the weekly rhythm would help serious buyers trust the ongoing value.

Steal this

Sequence a women-artists community as a self-paced studio course that feeds an application-only year-long critique group.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for other gendered maker communities with a clear practice curriculum. Weak for casual craft social clubs with no critique path.
