Reborn Artistry Alliance

I’m intrigued. Are y’all going to join? Do we think it will be a force for good or for evil?

I havent looked into it personally but have seen talk of it on FB

I keep seeing this new group all over facebook. It’s some kind of new guild for artists.

Jinx!
We must have been posting at the same time.
It looks good to me but I keep thinking there must be a catch.

Well I did it to see. It says it is free. It makes you go through a whole check out process like you are placing an order but the fee is $0. I wasn’t sure about that but since it did not make me log into Paypal I went ahead as I don’t see that anyone could come back and charge me something on my PP account later. I will see how it goes…

I saw it last week and read their rules.
They are Australia based. Their membership is free, but they are going to charge fees for their contests and everyone’s a winner and gets some merits for entering.
What I liked is that each artist has a page on their site and can post their links, like IG, FB, selling platforms. Having another selling link exposed is great, but how many times are artists buying from the artists?
IMHO, there are too many reborn organizations already. I am part of the We Reborners, then it’s ARA, and so on.

Some people of this forum are already their members. You can ask them :wink:

I liked that the contest judges are required to give some kind of feedback. Hopefully it would be of the constructive criticism variety and not mean-spirited.

I’m not a member of any groups. Which are reputable and open to new members?

I am part of We Reborners. Its international group also started in Italy.
For them you need to prove that your kits purchases are authentic (I provided screenshots from MacP, IRR, Truborn for their approval to be a member). They have an annual fee , I believe it’s $10.
They hold contests and awards.
They provide you with a logo.

I asked them about this after you joined and the girl was super snarky and said I had to be invited. This was right after they allowed a bunch of people to join. She wouldn’t even explain it to me. Basically made me feel like I had to be recognized and invited by a board or something. I couldn’t find any information on joining in English. :pleading_face:

Weird! I went right over to that link above and put in an application. It was all in English. I am waiting to hear back if I have actually been accepted.

I just went through the application for the new group and didn’t have any issue with it. I’m not sure how long it takes for them to review the applications though. Did you mean We Reborners?

I got an acceptance email yesterday and I am in the directory but I don’t know where the logos are found?

I think Kelly meant We Reborners as she replied right after my comment.
@PhotographyForLife I had no issues with them and all info is in 2 languages.
I am so sorry if you felt unwelcomed, my dear!

I think it might takes time for them to create logos for all applicants.
They colors (navy and white) reminds me Holland America cruise line marine society :slight_smile:

I got my approval email and my logos email this morning. They came in 2 separate emails.

This one is to be used like a water mark but as we know reborns won’t allow that so not sure if I will ever actually use it…

My acceptance email was on my inbox. Logos were in junk!

I joined and have talked to the founder Hollie a few times. She is really sweet and seems really dedicated to focusing on the the integrity of the art and the artists who are allowed in. I know she has already removed a few people who were painting fakes or were known scammers. I was confused about the checkout for $0 but found out that it’s how they assign member numbers for the back end, just an easy way to track how many members and who based on the orders. The contest entries are about $12 usd. It sounds like she’s putting together a really great group of people to help with the organization. I know she’s in Australia but I was really excited to have one that’s English based to join!
