Cordially Chaotic Collective is more than a brand. It's a growing community of independent artists and creative collaborators. Whether you're here to share your art or build something together, there's a place for you.
Read more below about our two pathways to joining the collective: Partnership or by becoming an Imprint
Partnership
This path is designed for people who already have their own businesses or brands. As a small business, we know the challenges that owners and entrepreneurs face first-hand, because we're currently going through them, too. Through this path, you'll be added to a growing network of other SBO who just might have the solution to your problem. Even if your anwser isn't there yet, there are plenty of people here who would love to help you find it. From Q&A sessions to collabs, we've got what you need, right here.

Anyone coming to our website in search of something we may not have will be directed to this page, where they can filter by business type and find exactly what they're looking for (you)!
Collective Business Network
When you become a partner of the collective, you gain exclusive access to the CBN Facebook group, where you can connect with fellow business owners and share tips and tricks. Networking has never been so easy! In the group, we'll be uploading tested resources that we and our other partners use regularly to get our business the lift it needs. We'll have deep, informative discussions about the struggles, wins, and everything in between of owning a business. Who knows, your next business venture could be waiting for you!

Imprint (Sub-Brand)
This path is designed for independent artists who may be struggling to find their footing. As an Imprint, you'll become an employee of the Cordially Chaotic Collective. As an employee, you'll be given a page on the website and have access to the CCC Google Workspace, Canva Business, and Shopify accounts. We have a lot to offer the creative side of you and as much as we'd love to share the joy with everyone, we will only be able to select five (5) new artists a year. We will have more information on when we will begin accepting applications soon so check back often.
CCC Family
When you join as an Imprint, you'll be with five other artists in a similar place in their journey. You may work with similar mediums, you may not. Some may be more skilled than others. As a team, we will work together to round out our skills, or uplift others in areas they may struggle. This does not mean that you'll be required to do any free work or lessons, but there will be times where we're required to work together and those are always learning opportunities. We'll be gaining new skills from different techniques and mediums, to the different aspects of running a business and a whole lot in between. The best part is you'll have ample time to create what you want, when you want.*
Resources/Business Tools
As on of CCCs artisans, you'll gain access to our Shopify account where you'll work with us to you-ify your page on the storefront. We'll discuss all the ends and outs through our Google Workspace (hello WFH) from customer engagement, to actually getting your products in their hands. You'll have access to our Canva account to make eye-catching graphics for your socials, edit attention-grabbing videos, and learn all the necessary skills of running a business. In one year, you'll have the option to graduate onto your very own website, or become a permanent sub-brand of the Collective.
