This event takes some preparation, research, and some confidence to reach out to special guests. I put in time to prepare the topics and to present them to you so that you can learn more about the digital art community - and this means less work elsewhere. This is an effort.
You can support the event with a small one time or re-occuring donation. With your support, I can continue to grow the community, create content for you and help sponsor development for Bforartists. Every token is a huge motivator.
Alternatively you can support with action by sharing topics you'd like me to discuss, asking questions to address, suggesting special guests, or applying as a special guest for the show. Feel free to reach out in the contact form down below.
