Community Agreements
Care is at the heart of our program.
It shapes how we listen, support artists, and hold space for one another. These agreements reflect our commitment to cultivating a community that is thoughtful, generous, and grounded in shared responsibility. Rather than rules, think of these as intentions—shared values that nurture the community we cherish.
Honor Each Other | We meet people where they are. Treat everyone with kindness, respect, and empathy.
Show Up with Openness | Embrace curiosity and dialogue. We encourage active listening and balanced participation, fostering a willingness to learn from one another.
Support the Artist | Our mission is rooted in celebrating and sustaining artists. Participate by attending events, collecting art, sharing your experiences, and spreading the word.
Protect Our Space | Whether online or in person, we prioritize environments that are safe, accessible, and considerate for all.
Respect the Integrity of Member Perks | Art Week passes, private invitations, and other member-only perks are exclusive to current Commissioner members. Please do not share or transfer these privileges. This ensures that membership holds its value and access remains fair.
Transparency & Privacy | We may ask to share your email with the artists you engage with for follow-up, feedback, or exclusive updates. You’ll always have the choice to opt in or out during sign-up.
Artwork Pick-Up and Delivery | Members are responsible for receiving their artworks, either by attending the unveiling event or arranging for delivery. If we don’t hear from you within three months of notification, we’ll follow up. After that, we may need to explore alternate arrangements for storage or redistribution.
Accountability | If behavior conflicts with these agreements, we will address the situation privately and directly, with care. In some instances, we may need to pause or reconsider access to programs or events. Our goal is to resolve issues thoughtfully and with mutual respect.
Thank you for co-creating this space with us. Let’s continue to uplift one another and the artists we support.
