Choose Your Membership Plan

We offer 3 different membership plans for your convenience: yearly, monthly and lifetime.  Each plan offers immediate access to the entire suite of program resources.  Since the program is designed as a one-year journey, we recommend you choose the yearly or lifetime option in order to enjoy the most savings.

Some Simple Membership Math...
​And keep in mind, the average cost of ONE piece of art for a beginning artist is anywhere from $200-$800, with emerging and pro artists commanding between $1000-$5000 per piece. Do you think you could learn enough in 1 year in the mentoring program to sell one or two more pieces of art than you did this last year? Of course you can! That would MORE than pay for your membership. Enrolling is a no-brainer.

❌  Unwilling to invest in your personal, artistic and professional growth.
❌  Not prepared to make changes in your schedule and life focus to make room for your calling as an artist.
❌  Not open to trying new things or to change unhealthy mindsets and habits. 
❌  If this is just not the right season of life for you to be focused on your art journey.
❌  Are looking for a magic pill or some get-rich-quick sales techniques to help you become a world-famous artist overnight.

Choosing the Right Artist Mentorship Program: 7 Reasons Why Created to Thrive Stands Out

Embarking on an artistic journey can be transformative, and selecting the right art mentorship program is a critical step in this process. The Created to Thrive Artist Mentorship Program stands out as a leading choice for several key reasons, aligned with essential criteria for selecting a artist mentorship program.

1. Real-World Experience That Counts
What sets 'Created to Thrive' apart is its foundation on a Kingdom perspective and real-world success. Unlike other programs where mentors may only have spiritual advice or theoretical business knowledge, 'Created to Thrive' is led by Matt Tommey who is not only a successful artist but also has substantial financial success in the art world. This ensures that you gain insights and strategies rooted in actual experience, a unique benefit for participants seeking practical guidance.

2. Unmatched Interactive Learning Experience
While many programs offer resources, 'Created to Thrive' excels in providing interactive learning experiences. It goes beyond static learning by offering live Q&A sessions, ensuring that you receive personalized feedback and guidance. Additionally, its vibrant community on platforms like Facebook facilitates peer-to-peer interaction and collaboration, setting it apart from more passive programs. Plus with access to our team of expert coaches each week, you're sure to accelerate your learning and success.

3. Flexible and Accessible Resources
The adaptability of 'Created to Thrive' makes it ideal for artists with varied schedules. With 24/7 access to resources and an active online community, it caters to the unpredictable nature of an artist’s life. This level of accessibility and flexibility in learning is a distinctive feature that enhances the overall mentorship experience.

4. Practical, Proven Success
'Created to Thrive' is not just about ideas; it's about practical, proven success. Matt is a successful, recognized artist who has helped thousands of artists achieve success. This proven track record of practical advice and effective mentoring methodologies sets 'Created to Thrive' apart as a reliable choice for artists seeking measurable results in their art business.

5. A Holistic Approach to Artistry
Unlike many programs that focus solely on artistic skills or marketing strategies, 'Created to Thrive' offers a holistic approach from a uniquely Christian perspective. It integrates spiritual and personal growth with artistic and business development, providing a well-rounded mentorship experience. This unique approach ensures that artists don't just improve their skills but also align with their deeper purpose and identity in Christ.

6. Spiritual Connection and Guidance
For artists who value spirituality, 'Created to Thrive' offers a mentorship experience that deeply resonates. Its spiritual framework and guidance align with many artists' beliefs, providing a more enriching and fulfilling mentorship journey.

7. Community-Based Learning
​One of the most remarkable aspects that sets 'Created to Thrive Artist Mentorship Program' apart from others is its strong emphasis on community-based learning. In the world of art, the value of community cannot be overstated. It's not just about learning from a mentor; it's also about growing alongside peers, sharing experiences, and building a network that supports and inspires.

'Created to Thrive' recognizes the power of a nurturing community. Unlike many other programs where the focus may solely be on the mentor-mentee relationship, this program fosters a rich, collaborative environment. Artists in the program are part of an active, engaged community where they can exchange ideas, provide feedback, collaborate on projects, and even challenge each other to grow. This sense of belonging to a community is crucial for artists, who often work in isolation.

The program’s community is diverse, including artists at different stages of their careers from various backgrounds. This diversity enriches the learning experience, as members bring unique perspectives and insights. Furthermore, the community's supportive nature ensures that every artist, regardless of their level of experience, feels valued and motivated.

By participating in 'Created to Thrive,' artists don't just join a mentorship program; they become part of a vibrant artistic community. This community aspect is a cornerstone of the program, making it an exceptional choice for artists who value not only individual mentorship but also the collective wisdom and support of a creative fellowship. The community-based approach of 'Created to Thrive' not only enriches the learning experience but also provides a network of support and collaboration, which is instrumental in the journey of an artist.

When choosing an art mentorship program, it's essential to consider one that offers practical experience, interactive learning, accessibility, proven success, a holistic approach, and spiritual connection. 'Created to Thrive Artist Mentorship Program' excels in all these areas, making it an exceptional choice for artists seeking a comprehensive and fulfilling mentorship experience. Its unique blend of real-world expertise, interactive community, flexible resources, practical success, holistic development, and spiritual alignment sets it apart as the best choice for any artist eager to thrive in their creative journey.

I understand that finding a mentor right away can be challenging. But don't worry, our Created to Thrive Artist Mentoring Program is designed to provide you with the guidance and support you need, even if you can't find a mentor immediately. Our program offers over $10,000 worth of transformational resources and bonuses, including access to over 200 video and written teaching resources, weekly live group Q&A sessions with our experienced mentor Matt Tommey, case study interviews with member artists, private member discussion forums, and a private member Facebook group.

In addition to joining the mentoring program, there are additional steps you can take to improve your skills and build your own experience. Get involved in your art community, attend workshops, and participate in exhibitions or art events. By engaging with other artists and creatives, you can create valuable connections and learn from those who are further along in their artistic journey.

Developing relationships with artists (both inside our community and out) who are more experienced can be an incredibly enriching experience. Seek out opportunities to connect with them, whether it's through local art associations, online forums, or social media platforms. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for advice or feedback. Many artists are willing to share their wisdom and insights if approached respectfully.

While our Created to Thrive Artist Mentoring Program offers a comprehensive solution, we understand that it may not be the right fit for everyone. That's why we encourage you to explore other avenues of growth and learning. Take advantage of the vast resources available online, such as tutorials, courses, and blogs by experienced artists. Attend art workshops or seminars in your area or consider joining local art groups or clubs. By actively seeking out opportunities for growth and connecting with fellow artists, you can continue to develop your skills and build your artistic network.

Remember, your journey as an artist is unique. Stay committed to improving your craft, be proactive in seeking out learning opportunities, and embrace the power of community-based learning. You can thrive in your creative journey and we are here to provide you with the resources, guidance, and support you need to succeed.

Questions You Should be Asking When Looking for an Art Mentor or Artist Mentorship Program

Selecting a mentor to guide you through your artistic journey is a crucial decision for any artist. The mentor you choose plays a vital role in shaping your growth and the outcomes you'll achieve. When considering an art mentor, ponder these essential questions:
  1. Does the art mentor bring firsthand success to the table? A common concern among artists seeking mentorship is encountering advisors who, despite offering sound advice, lack personal success in the art world. It's vital to engage with a mentor who not only talks the talk but has also walked the walk, ideally someone who has achieved significant success and continues to thrive in their art career. Thankfully, Matt Tommey has 30 of experience making and profitably selling art. He can teach you to do the same.

  2. Is the artist mentorship program interactive? True transformation requires more than just access to information; it necessitates meaningful interaction. A mentorship should offer direct engagement with your mentor and opportunities to connect with fellow artists for mutual support and collaboration. "Created to Thrive Artist Mentorship Program" emphasizes regular live interactions and foster a community of like-minded artists to give you the support and encouragement you need as an artist.

  3. Are the art mentor's resources flexible and accessible? Your learning needs are unique, and life's unpredictability means that flexibility in accessing mentorship resources is crucial. Created to Thrive allows you to tap into materials and community support anytime, anywhere, ensuring that you can continue to grow regardless of your circumstances.

  4. Will the artist mentorship content propel your artistic journey? It's important that the guidance provided by your art mentor is not only insightful but also practical and tested. Our strategies are rooted in best industry practices, our own successful experiences as working artists and have been proven effective by others in the art community. 

  5. Does the artist mentorship adopt a comprehensive approach? Flourishing as an artist - especially as a Christian artist - involves more than honing your craft and mastering marketing; it's about aligning with your intrinsic purpose and design. Created to Thrive is a holistic artist mentorship program and addresses your spiritual foundation, artistic development, and business acumen, ensuring a well-rounded path to success.
    ​
  6. Will the artist mentorship resonate with your spiritual values? For many, especially in the Christian community, it's essential that the mentorship aligns with spiritual beliefs and values. Inside Created to Thrive, we teach from a place of faith that can help you uncover and fulfill your God-given potential as an artist, encouraging you to infuse your work with divine inspiration and purpose.
