Creative Livelihood Club

Make great art. Make a great living.

Who we are

The Creative Livelihood Club began as a candid conversation between creative business owners.

We hosted a gathering to learn more about the real challenges of building a sustainable creative career in the arts.

As it turned out, the biggest challenge was feeling isolated in our work; we all craved a sense of belonging.

We decided to carve out dedicated time and space for women creatives — makers, artists, authors, entrepreneurs, designers, and creative business owners — to gather and grow.

We are now a thriving community of creative professionals who connect and learn together.

What we do

We host virtual and in-person events that foster connection and provide education that better equips creative professionals to enjoy lucrative, sustainable careers while doing what they love.

How to join

At the moment the Creative Livelihood Club is invitation-only, but we plan to begin hosting public events in 2026.

About

Founded and led by Dallas Curow, the Creative Livelihood Club is built on the belief that creative work matters — and women who do that work deserve connection, support, and economic agency.

Our mission is to empower women creative professionals to build sustainable, fulfilling careers by fostering connection, collaboration, and confidence. We create intentional spaces where women can share knowledge, celebrate achievements, and develop strategies that lead to meaningful visibility, recognition, and economic success.

We envision a world where women in creative industries thrive with visibility, influence, and economic power — supported by a community that champions each other’s professional and creative growth.
