Art Class Collective

From the day Femsplain launched, compensating all of our contributors for their content has always been at top of mind. Since Femsplain is mostly self-funded, we’re constantly thinking of ways we can make that goal happen faster. In February we launched a successful Kickstarter campaign, allowing us to pay our featured contributors $100 per article, for about a year.

Now, as we look to expand our editorial voice with different types of content (video, monthly columns, etc.) we’ve come up with a way to not only support this initiative, but also to support the talented female-identified artists in our community.

That’s where you come in!

Announcing…

50/50: A collaboration with female-identified artists to support female-identified creators.

What is it? Every month, we’ll announce a new partnership with a different female-identified artist. Each artist will have created three original pieces in their own unique art style while keeping the Femsplain mission in mind “To change the dialogue of what it’s like to be a woman.”

These designs will be sold in our shop as prints and also on one other item of the artist’s choice (tote, shirt, mug, etc).

With each month and every new artist, we’ll be releasing personal interviews and exclusive content all throughout the month.

How long will each artist be featured for? Each artist’s pieces will appear in our shop for only one month. These pieces are created exclusively for Femsplain and once the partnership ends will not be sold or produced anywhere else. Once the partnership ends, we will only be printing/shipping what was purchased.

How will I know who will be featured next? Similar to how we announce Femsplain monthly themes, the artist and designs will be kept a secret until the first of the month.

Where is my money going? Like the name of our project suggests, 50% of all profit goes towards supporting the artist and the other 50% towards compensating contributors for future content on Femsplain.

Launching July 1st!
