Building the next steps in your career starts with your peers.
Whether you’re knee-deep in acrylics or just putting pencil to paper, the most rewarding way to realize your ideas is in tandem with others.
The art world is an overwhelming place to navigate on your own. Paradice Palase is making sure you don’t have to.
Our platform supports emerging and underrepresented artists who are seeking a more connected and communal way to grow their careers. We believe the best way to achieve your goals is by surrounding yourself with likeminded people.
Artists also deserve a clear and info-rich path to their successes. Our Membership provides complete access to our platform’s core offerings, plus additional programs, forums, and partner perks designed exclusively for Essentials Members.

The Insights Lounge (formally Monthly Exchange) is our monthly virtual series where invited guests discuss industry related topics and share their expertise to help demystify the art world. This program is a key point of connection through the membership, where you will meet arts leaders and professionals in real time and often receive tips on common pain points for artists navigating the emerging art ecosystem. Insights Lounge is exclusive to Essentials Members.
The series is also a way to link up with your Essentials Member cohort for social time and networking during the first 30 minutes of each program session. -
Our Happy Hour service provides a unique opportunity to connect 1-on-1 for a direct advising consultation with our partner advisors, our invited Insights Lounge presenters, and our co-founders Kat or Lauren. A fast-becoming favorite of our network, you can receive focused feedback on any topic or goal of your choosing.
*New to 2025: these 30 minute private sessions are available for anyone to book, including non-members, but remain priority and at special rates for Essentials Members.
Sessions are an additional cost, with fees ranging from $25 - $50 per session. All fees go 100% to our invited guests, outside of sessions with the founders.

Connect 1-on-1 with your peers in our quarterly Studio Visit Swap. Artists are paired up to exchange studio visits online or IRL. Practice the skill of sharing about your practice and make lasting connections in this valuable exchange.
