Artbae In-House Artist Membership Form

At Artbae, we are dedicated to building and sustaining a thriving arts collective with a primary focus on using art to heal, inspire, provide hope, and give back to the community. We’re always looking to expand our team of creatives, motivators, and change-makers who are passionate about actively embodying and advancing the Artbae mission.

MISSION:

Artbae focuses on bringing beauty out of chaos by allowing art to heal, inspire, and provide hope. Our primary focus is to encourage people to live their purpose through their passion by putting their “art”—the expression and application of their divinely-inspired creative skill—“before anything else” in order to live a more satisfying life.

Why We Need You:

In light of ongoing national and global challenges—ranging from public health crises and social injustice to rising mental health concerns and economic disparities—art remains a powerful tool for positive change. Within the DMV area and beyond, many individuals face struggles such as homelessness, limited access to creative outlets, and declining mental well-being.

Studies have shown that engagement in creative activities can significantly improve mental health, reduce stress, and foster community connections. However, with arts programs being increasingly removed from schools and community spaces, many youth and adults are left without access to these vital resources.

At Artbae, we aim to bridge this gap by providing creative experiences that not only empower individuals but also highlight the essential role art plays in shaping culture, expression, and social change.

By joining our movement, YOU will help reintroduce art into lives, communities, and hearts—one meaningful connection at a time.
