Welcome to the COVID Conscious Creatives Newsletter!
October 6, 2023 😷
Hello everyone!
If you are receiving this email, it means you wanted to stay up to date with Covid Conscious Creatives. We’ll be issuing updates via this newsletter. The newsletter will be sent bi-weekly on alternating Fridays to start, and depending on the volume of resources/events we share, it might adjust down the line.
FUTURE C3 MIXERS (VIRTUAL & IN PERSON!)
We plan to have a monthly virtual Zoom mixer similar to the layout of the first (breakout room style, with some adjustments) and then in-person mixers for folks in Los Angeles a couple of times a year (depending on popularity).
Virtual mixers will be held at 1:00pm PST on the first Sunday of every month. Meaning, the next will be held on Sunday, November 5, 2023. Click here to RSVP if you have not RSVPd for a past event.
To ensure everyone’s privacy and safety, Zoom links for virtual mixers will always be emailed separately to signed-up members apart from this public newsletter.
The in-person mixers will have specific COVID protections in place, including mandatory testing, mandatory masking with high-quality respirators, and an outdoor venue with ideal airflow. Feel free to email us with any feedback/suggestions for either of the mixer types.
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE NEWSLETTER
The newsletter will be divided into a few different subsections. Paid opportunities, unpaid opportunities, a member spotlight, and a news category.
PAID OPPORTUNITIES 💵 💰
Individuals will submit a description of the job, compensation criteria, contact info, and any info regarding COVID safety measures to the C3 email address (covidconcreatives@gmail.com) for approval. These submissions must be submitted one week in advance.
UNPAID/ VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES 🙋♀️🙋🙋♂️
This section will be a hub for all volunteer or unpaid opportunities. This is a space for folks to collaborate with one another on creative endeavors. Individuals will submit all information regarding the opportunity to the C3 email address for approval (similar to paid opportunities). These submissions must be submitted one week in advance.
**Any opportunities (paid or unpaid) that are time-sensitive or last-minute will be shared through a separate directory (more information on the directory below).
** Also, please note that everyone who receives this newsletter will receive any personal information that members share. So, if you have an opportunity but don’t want to release your personal email address, be sure to create alternative contact information for sharing. Our intention for this newsletter is to engage as wide of a COVID-conscious creative community as possible. For a more private and secure platform, please use the directory.
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 💡
If you wish to spotlight yourself or your art for the community, please submit your personal advertisement to the C3 email address. There is a 150-word limit and must be submitted at least one week in advance of the next newsletter.
To start, we will limit spotlights to 3 per newsletter and those not released in the next issue will be included in subsequent publications.
NEWS 🗞️ 📰
This section will be devoted to any relevant COVID information for the creative world that might be of concern or interest to subscribers. This section will be used on an as-needed basis.
COMING SOON: C3 DIRECTORY
One of our main goals at C3 is to create a network and database to help COVID-conscious creatives find collaborators and facilitate creative partnerships.
Our utmost concern is maintaining everyone’s information safely and securely, so we are still evaluating and testing potential online platforms. The directory will be 100% optional to join, and we will ensure that only registered/vetted members can access contact information hosted there.
Once the directory is ready to join, we will send out sign-ups and start the process of onboarding members. We expect that the directory will be up and running by the end of this month! Be on the lookout for further information on how to register in our next newsletter!
