Right now! The Art of Collections™ is officially open for enrollment. Doors close on Tuesday, February 10 at 11:59 pm EDT. 🔔

The Art of Collections™ officially kicks off on Wednesday, February 11th with our Welcome Live Call.

You'll get access to the educational content and the community immediately after signing up.

Can't make the live call? No worries - a replay will be available the next day, just like all our other live calls. Replays are always available if you can't attend live.

Live call times fluctuate and rotate throughout the year to accommodate different time zones for students and our guest speakers.

I usually post call schedules about a month or two in advance, and replays are always available if you can't attend live.

You have lifetime access to The Art of Collections™ course content. This means you can return to the videos, lessons, and all course resources anytime, whether you want to review a specific concept, refresh your strategy, or revisit the material months or even years down the road.

You receive 6 months of access to the community, The CatCoq Collective™. After your six months are complete, you'll have the option to continue your community access on a month-by-month basis for a small monthly fee if you'd like to stay connected.

Many members choose to remain in the community beyond their initial six months so they can continue learning, participating in calls, and staying plugged into the support and momentum."

Portions of it are! The recorded program videos are entirely self-paced, so you can watch the videos on your own schedule.

We also have a monthly live call and an active & engaged community, so you can interact with your classmates and get all your questions answered. 💪

No. This is the only place to access The Art of Collections™.

Nope. The Art of Collections™ is not software-specific because we don’t teach or walk through any software inside the program. You can work in whatever medium or tools you already use, since the focus isn’t on how to make art.

This is not a step-by-step art-making tutorial. The Art of Collections™ is a higher-level business accelerator focused on helping you create strategic, pitch-ready work.

You’ll design from monthly prompts and creative briefs that guide what to create and how to think about your portfolio so it’s aligned with art directors and licensing opportunities.

This program is about turning your existing skills into artwork that’s positioned to land licensing deals.

Nope! This isn’t a drawing class, and it's not specific to one single art medium. The Art of Collections™ is inclusive for all artists, no matter what artistic medium you prefer.

Instead, this is a higher-level business accelerator focused on what to create and how to build a strategic, pitch-ready portfolio for licensing.

You’ll work from monthly prompts and design briefs that help you make intentional decisions about your artwork, regardless of whether you work digitally, traditionally, or in mixed media.

The program is designed to support artists at many different stages and across many different mediums, as long as you’re ready to apply your existing skills toward commercial and licensing opportunities.

The Art of Collections™ is $1,997 when you pay in full or $367 per month for six months. This will unlock lifetime access the program videos (7+ hours) as well as six months of access to structured support and mentorship through our community.

Yep, absolute beginners are welcome inside The Art of Collections! Many members join without prior licensing experience and use the program to learn how the art licensing world works, how portfolios are evaluated, and what art directors actually look for.

Even if you've never made a collection before, you can join. One student even landed her first licensing deal with the first 3 collections she made during the Monthly Challenges.

You don't need to have everything figured out when you join. The program is designed to give you structure, clarity, and direction so you can grow confidently, even if you're at the very beginning of your journey.

Absolutely okay! You don’t need to have created a collection before to join.

This program is beginner friendly, and many students come in having never made a collection at all. Inside the program, we walk through the strategies for creating strong, intentional collections and how to think about them in a marketable way.

A lot of students create their very first collection while they’re inside the Collective by following our monthly briefs, alongside others who are doing the same thing.

Some members are brand new, some have made collections before, but everyone is learning how to optimize and strengthen their work.

If you’ve never created a collection, you’re not behind. You’re in exactly the right place to start.

Absolutely. Many members join with years of art experience but want to learn the business side of licensing - how to create strategic collections that sell, pitch effectively to major retailers, and navigate contracts and negotiations.

Even if you're confident in your artistic skills, The Art of Collections teaches you how to think like an art director, identify what companies are actually looking for, and position your work to land deals.

You'll also get access to industry expert guest speakers who are actively working in the industry, trend insights that inform your collection development, and a community of artists at various stages who can offer perspective and support.

If you've been creating art but haven't been landing consistent licensing deals, this program helps you bridge that gap.

Six months is a very intentional timeframe. The program is built around a clear six-month roadmap designed to help you move from where you are now to a strong, strategic, pitch-ready portfolio.

Over the six months, you’ll work through focused monthly prompts and design briefs that guide you through creating cohesive collections, refining your work, and building momentum without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

By the end of the six months, most students have created multiple collections, gained clarity on their style and direction, and have started confidently pitching their work to art directors. The structure is designed to keep you moving forward consistently, while still allowing flexibility for real life.

If, after your six months, you'd like to stay connected and continue inside the community, you'll have the option to renew your access on a month-by-month basis for a small monthly fee. Many members choose to stay longer so they can continue building, pitching, and growing alongside the community at their own pace.

This program is intentionally designed to be flexible and to fit around real life. Many students travel, take breaks, or move at different paces during their six months, and that’s completely expected.

If, at the end of your six months, you’d like more time or simply don’t want to lose access to the community, you’ll have the option to continue on a month-to-month basis.

That way, you can stay connected, keep learning, and move at a pace that works for you, without losing your progress or access.

This program is designed for artists who are serious about making progress, but it’s also built to be flexible.

To get the most out of The Art of Collections™, I recommend carving out a few dedicated hours each week. That time is typically spent creating artwork for your monthly collection or mini-collection, engaging with the community, and working through the pitching process, which I walk you through inside the program.

That said, every student works on their own timeline. Some members are balancing this alongside full-time jobs or family commitments, while others are able to dedicate much more time.

The 6-Month Roadmap is there to support that flexibility. If you miss a week or even a month, you’re not “behind.” You can pick up exactly where you left off and always know what step to focus on next.

The program is intentionally structured to work at your own pace. Consistent, focused effort matters more than doing everything at once.

Even small, regular steps add up to real momentum over time, and that’s exactly how many students make meaningful progress inside the program.

This is one of the most common fears I hear, and it’s often driven by imposter syndrome rather than reality.

The truth is, the fastest way to grow is to start. By creating work intentionally and putting a stake in the ground, you give yourself something real to build from. Progress comes from doing, not waiting until everything feels perfect.

Just as important is who you’re surrounded by. Inside this program, you’re in a room with motivated artists who are actively working toward licensing goals. Spending time alongside people who are creating, learning, and pushing forward changes how you see your own work. Growth accelerates when you’re not doing it alone.

That’s completely normal, and it’s something many members are actively working through inside the program. Style doesn’t appear fully formed. It develops through intentional creation, repetition, and refinement.

The Art of Collections™ is built around monthly prompts, feedback, and community support, which gives you space to explore, experiment, and learn what resonates.

If you’re feeling unsure about your style or direction, this is actually a great place to be. You’re creating with purpose, receiving thoughtful input, and growing alongside others who are navigating the same questions.

This program is taught by someone who is actively working in art licensing today. I’m not teaching theory or outdated strategies.

I’m sharing what’s happening right now in my own licensing business, including conversations with clients, what they’re asking for, and how deals actually come together.

You’re also learning from more than just me. I regularly bring in people from my own licensing network, including my art licensing agents and other successful artists who are actively securing deals.

You’re getting insight from multiple perspectives, not just one path.

On top of that, the community includes people at many different stages, from those landing their first deals to those expanding existing ones. That range of real-world experience is a big part of what makes this program different.

While licensing is the core focus of the program, it’s far from the only meaningful outcome. As the community has grown, I’ve seen members experience a wide range of professional breakthroughs.

These include features in publications, podcast interviews, custom commissions, product lines, book covers, coloring books, pop ups, brand collabs, client work, and even large-scale visibility moments like a billboard in Times Square.

Beyond external opportunities, many members talk about internal shifts. They gain confidence in their work, clarity around what to create next, accountability to stay consistent, and momentum they haven’t felt in years. Some are building their very first collections.

Others are finally creating at a pace that feels sustainable. Progress shows up in many forms, and all of it moves you closer to long-term success.

Feeling nervous about pitching is completely normal, especially if you’ve never done it before. You do not need pitching experience to join.

Inside the program, I walk you through exactly how pitching works, step by step. We break down the process, remove the mystery, and make it feel manageable.

You’ll also have access to resources, examples, and community discussions where both members and I share what’s working, what clients are responding to, and how to approach outreach with confidence. You’re not expected to figure this out alone.

The program is built around a clear 6-Month Roadmap so you always know where you are and what to focus on next. If you miss a week or even a month, you’re not off track. You can pick up exactly where you left off without needing to catch up on everything at once.

Everyone works on their own timeline. Some members are balancing this alongside full-time jobs and family life. Others are dedicating more time. Both approaches are valid. Consistent, intentional steps matter far more than speed.

I don't have a set date for when doors will open again. Once this round closes, my full attention goes to the artists inside the program - supporting them through their collections, pitching strategies, and breakthroughs.

The artists who see the best results are the ones who commit and dive in rather than waiting for the "perfect" time. This round kicks off in February, which means you could have multiple collections built and be actively pitching by summer.

This is your opportunity. I'd love to see you inside!

Yes. Art licensing is not dependent on your location or nationality. We have members from all over the world, and licensing opportunities are global.

As one example, I recently met up with a student in Hong Kong while I was on vacation. Over coffee, we realized we both license with the same French company, which was a fun and very real reminder that this industry is international.

Licensing deals are based on the strength of your work and how it’s positioned, not where you live.

My team and I will be happy to answer your questions. Just shoot us an email at hello@catcoq.com
