Sixty Collective is our way of connecting you to our network across the midwest. Sixty Inches From Center is leveraging our 15+ year partners and collaborators in order to share them with our Members. We’re creating a space where our network can more easily discover you and your work by redirecting gigs and opportunities your way.

For Sixty Collective Members, the platform promotes your work and helps you find new income and growth opportunities. For non-members, it provides connections to collaborators and access to resources that fuel creative practice. By participating as a Sixty Collective member you’ll have a profile on our site that makes it easy for Sixty to vouch for you and promote your work across our audiences. This ensures we can help redirect opportunities your way that would normally come to Sixty Inches From Center.

The biggest time commitment is upfront, filling out the Member Intake application. The website functions as a member directory, not a social media appl. It’s not something Collective members have to upkeep on a regular basis. Your profile can be a stand in for a website or it can highlight links to other places where your work exists online. You give us the information we need about you to promote your work and connect you with opportunities that come our way.

To update your profile, please contact the Sixty Collective team by emailing info[at]sixtycollective[dot]org and we’ll provide links to submit your updates.
