WHAT IS THE HIVE?
The Hive Collective is a group of creative entrepreneurs who aim to improve our industry through education, community, and solidarity. The Hive’s online community has grown beyond screens to include pop-up markets, meet-ups/events, field trips/virtual tours, monthly events, and even a few workshops.
Education equals value.
We support our members with a cache of digital resources and organize in-person programming, meet-ups, and workshops to develop our skills and grow our hive mind.
Connections matter.
As more workers go remote, the need for community beyond traditional workplaces is growing. We're filling that gap by providing digital and physical spaces to come together and learn, connect, provide feedback, or just break up the day with gifs.
Strength in the swarm.
Creative professions are often characterized by competition – competition for clients, for awards, and prestige, for profit. We're building solidarity and trust to promote collaboration over competition.
