A new renaissance of human creativity

Our mission is to restore beauty to its rightful place in human life and to help ignite a new renaissance of human creativity through art.

The FASO Artist Society is a professional artist organization created to help artists grow, connect, and share their work with the world. We believe art can awaken people from distraction and mindless consumption—and reconnect them with beauty, meaning, and the liberating power of human creativity.

Exhibit your work.
Build your record of achievement.

FASO Juried Exhibitions are serious opportunities to have your work selected, recognized, promoted, and placed before the FASO collector audience. Artists whose work is juried into an exhibition may receive a Selected for Exhibition distinction and become eligible for judged awards.

Each exhibition currently awards more than $35,000 in cash and service awards. Collectors have built significant portions of their collections with art discovered in FASO Exhibitions. With approximately six exhibitions per year, including the Annual Salon, membership gives you ongoing opportunities to build a visible record of accomplishment.

You don’t have to build an art career alone.

The artist’s life can be solitary. You spend long hours in the studio bringing something inspiring into the world, only to discover that you’re also expected to become a marketer, photographer, salesperson, bookkeeper, web designer, and “content creator.”

The Artist Circle gives you a private community of fellow artists who understand both the creative and commercial sides of the artistic path. Share practical advice, improve your marketing, take part in critiques, and receive thoughtful feedback from your peers.

Learn directly from successful working artists through live guest webinars every month. Membership includes approximately two webinars per month with guest artists and the FASO team, plus a growing collection of marketing guides, ebooks, videos, and other educational materials.

Stand with human artists.

At FASO, we believe human art matters. Artists deserve thoughtful support, serious opportunities to exhibit, practical tools, and direct access to people who want to discover and collect their work.

We stand firmly against the idea that a few prompts into an AI chatbot can replace real art. We are building a community that values human creativity and helps artists depend less on the infinitely hungry algorithm.

If you share that vision, join us. Together, we can help build a future that values human artists.

Keep your website. Join the Society. If you already have a website you love outside FASO, become an Associate Member separately for $79 per year and enjoy the benefits above.
