Clubs For artists
The Artist Workshop

From creating
to being discovered.

Discovered two ways: by the people who want to watch your work, and by the people who want to make it with you. Clubs finds you both — and the Companion is the agent working on your behalf while you're busy making the thing. The making is free forever.

levels 1 and 2 are open today · the paid levels are opening soon

✶ nobody gets stuck at the making ✶

The work was never the hard part

You can already do the thing. What kills it is the six months after — the crew you couldn't find, the page you never built, the release plan that stayed a note on your phone.

How it usually goes
  • The track's been finished for five weeks. Nobody's heard it.
  • You needed an editor in March. You asked three friends and gave up.
  • Your link goes to a platform that decides who sees you.
  • The release plan is half a note on your phone.
  • Momentum dies the week real life gets busy.
How it goes here
  • You post what you're making, and the right people apply to be in it.
  • Everyone works off one project page, one shared clock, one thread.
  • You have an address of your own — and the mailing list is yours.
  • A brief that knows what's missing and drafts the ask for you.
  • Something texts you the Thursday before, not the Monday after.
✶ what we actually do ✶

Five levels between an idea and being found

Each one is a real jump, and each one is either free or costs less than a coffee run. You climb them in order, and you stop wherever you want.

01Free

Make it — with people who actually want to.

an idea and nobody to build it with a crew who applied to be there

Post what you're making — film, EP, zine, game — with your own application questions. Real people swipe in and write to you. You read every one, accept who you want, and the team lands in a channel together. No follower counts, no résumés, no algorithm charging you to be seen by your own people.

Included free, forever
At this level
  • Swipe castings, gigs and open calls — no sign-up to browse
  • Post unlimited projects with photos and video
  • Review applicants, accept, build the team
  • Group channels, DMs and roles
02Free

Finish it — on one clock, not four laptops.

files in a Dropbox nobody can sync a musician, an animator and an editor on one timeline

Clubs Studio is where the thing gets built. Drop your stems in and the audio is read once — beats, onsets, amplitude, six frequency bands. Then you wire visuals to the music by assignment, not keyframing: "this logo bounces on the kick." No curve editor, no one leaving their own vocabulary. Desktop and phone, same project file, no account required.

Included free, forever
At this level
  • Multitrack audio on a shared clock
  • Visuals driven off the analysis, by assignment
  • Write a part — sampled piano or synth
  • Draw layers, then export

Show it — so both kinds of people can find you.

a link in a bio, on rented land a page that turns strangers into fans and collaborators

Pick a template, type on the page, press Publish. An artist page, an EP page, a page for one night only. Paste a Spotify or YouTube link and it becomes a player. This is what you send a venue, a label or a director — and what the guitarist who heard your demo reads before deciding whether to message you. People who sign up go on your mailing list, exportable any time: the only audience that survives a platform changing its mind.

Get an agent — one that recruits for you.

doing your own casting, chasing and admin someone working the phones while you work

This is the level people mean when they say they need an agent. The Companion knows your projects and everyone applying to them. It works out which roles you still haven't filled, writes the posts that go find those people, opens hidden role intakes that recruit into your main team, and ranks the applicants against what the project actually needs — so the right drummer isn't sitting at the bottom of a list you never opened. It stages; you approve. Nothing goes public without you.

Level 4 — Companion · includes Level 3Opening soon
What it does for you
  • Works out which roles you still need filled
  • Writes the posts that go recruit them
  • Ranks everyone who applies
  • Keeps the brief, the dates and the follow-ups
  • Takes 0% — it's $13, not 15%
05$20 / mo

An agent that picks up the phone.

an agent you have to remember to check in with one that calls you

A real agent doesn't wait in a tab for you to visit. This one texts when a date is coming, when four people have applied and nobody's read them, when the thing you said you'd do Tuesday is still sitting there. Text back and it gets to work — or take the call and talk the shortlist through out loud. Opt in, and STOP ends it instantly.

Level 5 — Companion Live · includes Levels 3–4Opening soon
Unlocks
  • It texts you before the date, not after
  • Text back from anywhere; it stages the work
  • It calls when you'd rather talk it through
  • Nudges when people are waiting on you
✶ pick your level ✶

Four plans. The first one is free forever.

The agent you can't afford yet.

An agent finds you the people, puts you up for things, keeps the calendar and does the chasing. That's what this does — for the stage you're actually at, and for 0% instead of fifteen. Tell it what you're making; it works out who you still need, writes the posts that go find them, ranks whoever applies, and hands it all back for your approval. It never posts on its own — that gate is built into the architecture, not the policy.

The one that reaches out first.

Everything at Level 4, except it doesn't wait for you to open a tab. It texts you when a date is coming, when applicants have been waiting, when the thing you said you'd do on Tuesday is still sitting there. Text back and it gets to work.

Questions people actually ask

Is the free plan a trial?
No. There's no clock and no card. Levels 1 and 2 — swiping, posting, applying, running a team, and all of Clubs Studio — are free and stay free. The paid levels add reach, not permission. Nothing about making the work is behind a paywall.
Do I need to pay to use Clubs Studio?
No. Studio is free on desktop and phone and doesn't need an account. Your projects are folders on your own machine — AirDrop, iCloud or Finder move them around. There is no server holding them hostage.
When do the paid levels open?
Soon — Levels 3, 4 and 5 aren't open to buy yet, which is why every button on this page goes to a free account rather than a checkout. Start free and you'll hear from us the day they open. Nothing on this page is billing you in the meantime.
Can I move up and down between levels?
Once they open, any month. Move up when a release is coming, drop back when it's out. Because each plan contains the ones below it, moving up never means paying twice for the same thing.
What happens to my stuff if I cancel?
You drop back to free. Projects, teams, messages and Studio files are untouched. A published website unpublishes and its content is kept — resubscribe and it goes back up as it was. You can export your mailing list at any time, including before you cancel.
Can the Companion post things without me?
No — and that isn't a promise, it's how it's built. The Companion can only stage a draft. Publishing is a separate action that requires you, signed in, pressing the button. Same for websites: it edits the draft, you press Publish.
I'm not a musician. Is this for me?
Yes. The briefs cover music releases, live events, film and video, podcasts, games, visual art, writing, fashion — and "something else", which tailors itself to whatever you're actually doing. Studio is strongest around music, but the rest of the ladder doesn't care what you make.
How does the texting level handle consent?
You opt in explicitly and set when it's allowed to reach you. Reply STOP at any time and messages end immediately; HELP explains what it is. Message and data rates from your carrier may apply.
Who can the Companion see?
Only you. Its toolkit is scoped to your account by construction — your profile, your projects, and the applicants to projects you own. There is no path for it to read another person's account, and it doesn't train on your drafts.
✶ start where it costs nothing ✶

Level 1 is free. Start there.

Make the thing first, with people who want to be in it. The website, the Companion and the phone call are all still here on the day you actually need them.
