The Secret to Sustaining Your Art Practice

Starting new habits or sustaining a creative career isn’t easy. We often underestimate the energy it takes to keep showing up for ourselves.

But what if the secret wasn’t more willpower, but more connection? Research shows we’re far more likely to stick with our goals when we share them with someone else. In fact, if you regularly check in with an accountability partner, your chances of success can soar as high as 95% [1].

An accountability buddy is someone you commit to showing up with. Sometimes they play the role of a mentor, sharing their wisdom; other times, it’s about walking the path together toward a shared goal [2]. Either way, the magic lies in the ritual of connection—having someone to celebrate wins with, and someone who keeps you going when motivation dips.

At our meetup, we want to create space not only for inspiration, but also for these supportive partnerships. You might find your accountability buddy right here: someone who understands the highs and lows of making art and can check in with you as you both grow your practice.

After all, everything is more enjoyable and sustainable with a friend by your side.
