CRÉATEUR CLUB

Founded in May of 2023, CRÉATEUR Club aimed to be your direct local guide to Seattle’s local artists. Delivering a member box to your doorstep in each new season with a seasonal Créative Guide and samples of the season’s featured local artworks. The membership also included special access to local creative events, member-only galleries, B2B local art curation, and exclusive access to the new Annual CRÉATEUR Zine Volume. Similarly to CRÉATEUR Zine, this opportunity remained free for the local artists and the season’s top 3 featured artists in the Créative Guide would retain a % of the season’s earnings.

unPUBLISHED

After 3 years in business (2020-2023) CRÉATEUR met it’s time to come to a close. Although, through local popularity CRÉATEUR still had over 20 local Seattle Creatives that had submitted to be “Featured Creatives” in CREATEUR Zine that had yet to be published. In honor of the love and support from Seattle’s local creative community, CRÉATEUR came back by popular demand to release one final summer mini-series titled “CRÉATEUR’s unPublished” including a one page mini feature blog & social post on every local artist that had submitted but never would get the chance to be published in a CRÉATEUR Zine print issue.
