About us
Welcome to the Elevate Your Art Bootcamp Social Squad. This group is a space for those of us currently working through an art bootcamp or intensive program to connect, share our progress, and keep each other motivated. We know how easy it is to feel isolated or hit a wall when you are pushing through daily assignments, so this is our dedicated time to step away from the canvas or screen and chat with people who actually understand the struggle.
Our meetups are low-key and informal. We get together to talk about what we are learning, troubleshoot the technical hurdles we are facing, and celebrate the small wins that happen between lessons. Whether you are just starting out or are deep into the curriculum, we would love to have you join us. Come by to grab a coffee, talk shop, and make sure we all cross the finish line together.
