When I re-entered the art world, things changed so much. I had so many questions about social media platforms, and I panicked when vanity galleries approached me left and right. Then I saw Victoria’s post about The Visionary Community. Right away, I know this was what I needed. Now I have a great group of like minded artists’ friends and a wonderful leader. I look forward to every live zoom. Thank you, Victoria.

The Visionary Community is truly a space of support and growth. Victoria is able to support our community as an artist, a curator and an entrepreneur. She is patient, caring, articulate and knowledgeable. As a mid-career artist navigating a new full-time studio practice, The Visionary Community provides resources to help me on my journey. The offerings range from industry experts, guided sessions and artist talks.

As an artist, I'm constantly seeking new learning opportunities regarding how to improve the business aspects of my art practice; including marketing, exhibiting and media exposure among others. The Visionary Community has offered me a host of resources along with expert discussions, and more. I have found all these incredibly valuable while at the same time connecting with fellow artists.

The Visionary Community is more than just a group: it is a supportive community of passionate artists pushing boundaries together. Our sessions have been tremendously helpful in making me realize that other artists battle similar fears and anxieties too and we tackled these issues through exercises and conversation. I have met great artists in the group and feel fortunate that Victoria connected me with two fellow artists with whom I regularly do monthly crits and check-ins with still. I’m grateful to be a part of such a dynamic artistic community.
