Find Your Fit: ACI’s New Tier System Is Here!

We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes fine-tuning something that truly reflects what ACI stands for — keeping art accessible, supporting artists as they grow, and yes, keeping us paid and fed (because creativity runs best on full bellies and full hearts).

We’re excited to introduce our new Skool tier system, designed to grow with you — whether you’re just starting your art journey, exploring new skills, or ready to take your practice to the next level.

🌱 Free Tier – Begin, Explore, Connect

Price: Free forever
Perfect for anyone dipping their toes into art, creating, connecting or just ACI!

Whether you’re learning the fundamentals, finding your rhythm, or simply joining for the creative energy — this space is yours to explore. Get a footing before going up!

This tier is for artists who are growing steadily and want to keep learning through conversation, connection, and structured lessons.

🌺 VIP Tier – All Access

This is the “everything unlocked” tier for those who want to fully immerse themselves in ACI’s creative ecosystem — learning, building, and creating alongside us year-round. Informational courses that can rival semesters in college without the tuition. 

✨ Why the Change?

We built ACI to be a space where anyone can learn, no matter their background, budget, or experience level.
This new tier system allows us to:

• Keep core resources and community free for everyone

• Offer affordable upgrades that support both your growth and ours

• Continue building a sustainable, artist-led collective that values people, art, and the planet

We’re here to make sure art stays accessible, intentional, and alive — not behind paywalls, but within reach for every creative soul who finds their way to us.

💬 Join the Level That Fits You

Whether you’re here for the community, the courses, or to learn at your own pace — there’s a place for you at ACI.
Every tier helps us keep creating, teaching, and sharing — together.

Find your fit, keep learning, and let’s keep making art that bridges the silence.

When words fail, art bridges the silence.
