WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

Perfect!!

"The Artist Alliance and membership in "the tribe", has been a growing experience for me and perfectly timed. I recently relocated from Colorado where I began my artist life, to San Francisco. Consequently, I have a great need to learn of and to connect with a new artist community. Jen Tough is so knowledgeable and committed to sharing whatever she can to help artists to help themselves. Jen models a supportive attitude -- I feel that members follow her lead and do the same. Because of this, there is the bonus of learning from all tribal members from across our country, and if not already, from beyond. Perfect!!" —Jean Brodie

"The Artist Alliance experience has been extraordinary. The phrase, "drinking from a fire hose," comes to mind. It is incredibly rich in process and resources, inspiration, and great fun! Working and observing other incredible artists is another plus."

—Sue Cretarolo

Founded by Jen Tough of Jen Tough Gallery, The Artist Alliance was created during the Coronavirus pandemic after her gallery permanently closed. Long realizing the gallery system was pretty broken for artists, she created the Artist Alliance to offer artists community, exposure and resources, where artists earn 100% on sales.

Jen’s past work experiences include being the art director for Warner Bros Records and Urban Outfitters, along with years of freelance projects for Nike, Drew Carey, and numerous national magazines. Jen has won awards for art direction & design, was named "one to watch" for the 2000s for art direction, and has juried numerous national exhibitions. She lives with her husband, daughter, and two dogs in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Jen Tough Gallery has been included in:

"This group is great! Being a studio artist can be very isolating at times...especially THESE times, and this is a great place to connect with artists from all over. I have already taken advantage of two workshops and a webinar that was EXTREMELY helpful and very informative as well as timely. I love that there is a separate place for the public to view the art as well. I highly recommend becoming a member!"

—P.K. Williams
