DASHBOARD
At ArtCube, our core values guide how we serve creative professionals across industries. We believe that a strong, informed, and connected community leads to better work, fairer hiring, and more sustainable practices. From transparent job postings to resource reuse and member advocacy,
ArtCube exists to support creatives at every stage of their careers. Everything we build is rooted in trust, accountability, and the belief that collaboration makes creative work stronger.
ArtCube is a professional community for creative freelancers, crews, and vendors across multiple industries. Members share job opportunities, resources, vendors, and hard-won knowledge that hetlps everyone work smarter. By exchanging real-time industry insight, our community stays adaptable, informed, and resilient, even as creative markets shift.
By virtue of an active community, we deliver industry intelligence in real-time, thus promoting a strong, informed, and responsive workforce.
In the Pandemic of 2020, ArtCube Nation as a community made 15,000 pieces of PPE for NYC hospitals when there were none on the shelves or supply chain, this community act was estimated to prevent 100,000 cases of Covid 19 in our hospitals in all 5 boroughs.
The lack of diversity in the film industry has been an issue since the industry emerged as a major American export after WWI. By virtue of an open community that does not employ nepotism, a dubious testing process, or excludes anyone based on union status, ArtCube's successful film career stories have this in common: talent and hustle.
Gender bias and outright gender bias in the film industry is in the rearview mirror on ArtCube Nation. The founder of ArtCube Nation is a CIS female and worked her way up the film industry ladder in the 90's in New York City, and not without personal experience in this regard. Therefore, job descriptions specify skills required such as someone who can lift 50 pounds or a person with a van.
Transparent hiring practices are a key component of our mission to end freelancer non-payment issues. To assure equitable hiring practices, rates, union status, and anticipated hours are required upfront.
Creative professionals deserve clarity before they say yes. ArtCube requires job postings to include meaningful details like rates, scope of work, timelines, and expectations. We prioritize skill-based language and accountability so members can identify fair opportunities and avoid abusive or misleading work. Transparency protects people and raises industry standards. We also get involved in VERY rare disputes.To date, there has NEVER beem a fake job posted.
We're a digital filmmaking community at the core, but we firmly believe that in-person gatherings can create magic.
We host a number of events throughout the year to promote networking, happiness and FUN!
On top of that, who doesn't love a bargain or free stuff?
ArtCube members combat climate change by offering their no-longer-needed assets to the community for reuse. Today's Art Department players loathe to see set dressing in a dumpster, so ArtCube Nation members create a FOR FREE POST or FOR SALE and offer the leftovers to peers who are prepping a project.
Cubers also seek and promote local vendors reducing emissions and single-use material waste.
Creative professionals are often the first to respond in times of crisis and the first to rebuild what’s been damaged. ArtCube exists because we believe creative work matters, creative labor has value, and creative people deserve support, dignity, and tools that help them thrive.
Many Art Department professionals care deeply about social and environmental issues. ArtCube has been directly and indirectly involved with organized community activism in times of crisis and everyday acts of generosity.
If you have an organization you support, you can always post for free supplies, and share volunteer opportunities, post events, and fundraisers.
ArtCube began as a response to broken systems.
I spent years working as an Art Department Coordinator, watching time, money, materials, and creative labor get wasted simply because there was no easy way to connect people, projects, and resources. I watched beautiful, skilled work get thrown away at wrap. I watched people burn hours “calling around” for things that already existed somewhere else. I watched unclear hiring and power imbalances put eager creatives in impossible positions.I knew there had to be a better way.
Before ArtCube was a platform, it was a community. It lived as a Google Group, then alongside Film Biz Recycling, where I saw firsthand how much value flows through creative production when friction is removed. When that nonprofit closed, I asked the community to help me build something new. They showed up. ArtCube exists because they did.This platform is built from lived experience, not theory. It is shaped by what works in real production environments, under real deadlines, with real people. I am deeply protective of this community because I know how hard this work can be, and how much better it is when you are not doing it alone.
ArtCube is my life’s work. I believe artists and creative professionals make the world more livable, especially in times of crisis. Making their working lives easier, safer, and more respected is the most meaningful thing I can do.
