About us
AI for Creatives and Entrepreneurs (ACE) s a community of independent artists, small business owners, and creative entrepreneurs who are ready to grow their craft into a thriving business with the help of AI.
We value innovation, creativity, and human artistry and are driven by the shared goal to turn passion and creativity into sustainable, scalable ventures. Together we’re exploring ways we can use AI to work smarter and grow faster without sacrificing the human touch that makes our creative work so special.
Who Should Join?
ACE is for you if you’re a creative professional or leader using your talent to build something of your own, whether that’s an art practice, a brand, a studio, or a creative business. You’ve spent years perfecting your craft, and you’re serious about turning your artistry into sustainable income.
If you think creatively and operate entrepreneurially, you’ll find your people here.
Our community is comprised of independent artists and creatives of all disciplines and leaders spearheading their own creative business ventures, studios, agencies, and startups. We welcome professionals currently using AI as well as those interested in learning to use AI for their creative projects.
