Tell us about yourself.
Start with the basics. This information will appear on your public Maven profile.
Be specific. "Ceramics" is good. "Raku-fired ceramics and pit firing" is better.
Minimum 100 words. This is what people read before they message you — make it real.
Your credentials.
Help us verify your expertise. We review these personally — there are no automated filters.
A portfolio link, Instagram, Etsy shop, or any place where we can see your work.
We'll reach out to your references after reviewing your application. They should be people who can speak to your expertise in your craft — former students, collaborators, gallery owners, mentors, or fellow artists.
Almost there, Maven.
One last section. Tell us how you'd like to work, and confirm your agreement to the platform terms.
This will be visible on your profile. You can always update it later. Leave blank if you prefer to discuss rates directly.
I confirm that all information I've provided is accurate and truthful. I understand that misrepresentation will result in removal from the platform.
I understand that listing on Mavens is free during the beta period. I'll be notified of any changes before they take effect.
I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and I consent to Mavens contacting my references on my behalf.
