We value exchange, in all its forms.
- Our workshops are live, synchronous workshops taught on Zoom—range from $0-$25 per person, depending on the wishes of the facilitator.
- You can also donate extra funds towards our community scholarship. This scholarship allows folks from diverse communities to take the workshop at no cost to them. The application process for this scholarship can be found here.
- We believe in paying artists for their time. This is why we split donations for the CWS with the workshop facilitators 70/30, with our 30% going back into collective.aporia for operation costs. For the RS, we split donations 50/50.
- To stay true to our goals of accessibility, inclusion, & cooperative reciprocity, we've set up the Work Exchange Initiative (WEI). The WEI includes work-trade options for folks who cannot afford the minimum $25 donation, or would like to ‘buy-in’ to the collective in a different way, such as by writing blog posts, helping with marketing, or editing video subtitles. We’ve also included options for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work, which coincides with our DEI initiative. We will have more details about this work in the next few weeks.
Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions, concerns, or suggestions about how to better serve you, the collective.

FAQ
How do I sign up?

$$$$$$?
Most workshops require a minimum donation amount of $25. The option to donate more will appear as an 'upsell' option on Podia after purchasing the workshop. We believe this payment structure more accurately values our offerings, allows our facilitators (all working artists) to be better paid, & fosters a heightened sense of collective exchange. More information about the donations, our Community Scholarship, & the Work Exchange Initiative can be found here.
