VGVS Creative Collective North America

WE'RE BACK Y'ALL! Due to some recent donations by incredible supporters, VGVS is back on Meetup in 2026! We're so excited to share all our new free workshops, paid courses, events, challenges, and other programming, and we look forward to meeting and collaborating with many new creators in the months to come!

THIS IS THE NORTH AMERICA MEETUP GROUP! It's open to anyone anywhere but will include our online workshops and other events with times that work best in western hemisphere time zones such as US/Canada Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic, and Newfoundland. If you're on the other side of the Atlantic, it's best to join the Europe group for time zones closer to GMT. If you are in or near Indianapolis, Indiana, you may want to join the Indy Chapter group instead so you will also see local events in that area!

The Venturous Guild of Visionary Storysmiths (VGVS) is an international creative collective committed to growing a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative community of empowered artists. We are a nonprofit organization that provides free resources, workshops, mentorship, and safe spaces for creators to hone their skills, build their confidence, and share their stories. The Guild is open to teen and adult creators of any kind who work in any medium. Your passions may include writing & poetry, print & digital art, photography, film, music, fashion design, dance, theater & performing arts, graphic & game design, and more!

Our Discord server is our main communications hub where we come together from all over the world to hang out, inspire and motivate each other, and collaborate on projects! It's a super chill space where we can chat between workshops, share resources, get writing and art prompts, complete challenges, ask for help, share current work-in-progress for feedback, and more. Note that the majority of our free workshops and events such as weekly Creative Writing Discussions, bi-monthly Creativity Jam Sesh, and Moon Meditations on new and full moons happen IN the Discord server in The Tavern voice channel!
