Scenario

When creative collectives face growth vs authenticity tensions

Our art collective started because we all felt like outsiders in the gallery world but now that we're getting attention three of us want to stay underground and two of us want to scale up and we can't even agree on which opportunities to say yes to. Every decision about our future feels like we're choosing between betraying our origins or limiting our potential.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Success is forcing a group to choose between their founding identity and their emerging possibilities, revealing unspoken assumptions about what they're building together.
