The Creative Space: The Creative Achiever and Creative Ambitionist tiers are high-value annual fees for 12-months of membership access and support. To ensure financial accessibility for disabled and neurodivergent artists, the organisation allows these annual fees to be spread across twelve equal monthly instalments. The Creative Space tiers do not automatically roll over into a subsequent 12-month commitment. Because our intensive support is delivered as a structured annual curriculum, these memberships will expire on day 365 unless you actively choose to opt-in for another 12-months.

Price adjustments: We reserve the right to review and adjust our membership fees however this will not effect current members.

If there are eligible individuals on the waitlist waiting to join when your 12-month term concludes, priority will be given to those who have not yet access-supported their practice through the programme. The Renewal Process: We will contact you 30 days before your 12-month term ends to discuss your options. If there is no waitlist, you may be permitted to renew your low-income space for another year. If there is a waitlist, we will gladly support your transition to a standard membership tier if your circumstances have changed, or add you to the low-income waitlist for a future cohort.

You must review and approve any portfolio materials, statements, or introductory text before we initiate contact. No Guarantee of Outcomes: While we act as a bridge to the creative sector, Nirvanas Arts Collective CIC operates strictly as an educational, advisory, and supportive organisation.

Our aim is to reduce the administrative burden, particularly when starting conversations can feel like a barrier to business growth, however, we do not guarantee specific outcomes. Artist Responsibility: We do not guarantee that your participation or our administrative outreach will result in secured gallery representation, exhibition placements, funding approvals, sales, commercial industry or private contracts or opportunities. The final acceptance of your work, the submission of applications, and the formal negotiation of external business contracts remain entirely your responsibility, and we will support you where and when we can. We are not liable for the choices, rejections, or commercial decisions made by third-party galleries, curators, or industry bodies. Private Whatsapp channel terms of use If you are a Creative Ambitionist member, you receive direct, private access to us via a 1:1 WhatsApp channel. This space is designed for quick check-ins, celebrating wins, troubleshooting blocks, and keeping you accountable between our monthly mentoring sessions. To ensure this remains a high-value, sustainable resource for both of us, the following boundaries apply: Hours of Availability & Response Times: You can message at any time or day that is convenient for you. We understand that sometimes it is best to ask your question or talk through some thoughts as and when they come. Please note notifications are muted outside of working times, however will be responded to as a priority. We respond to messages twice a week, typically on a Monday and Thursday, however sometimes outside of these times. We also work irregular hours, so please us know if there are times/days you would prefer not to receive messages. Communication Formats: Message Types: You are welcome to send text messages, links, images of your work, or voice notes. Please use the voice notes function if this suites you. We kindly ask, if this is within your capacity to do, to send a short sentence to summarise the voice note. This helps us prioritise responses if a note is more urgent. Scope of the Channel : What it is for: Quick advice, clarifying questions from our last 1:1 session, mindset support, an accountability check-in, if you just need a hype person or immediate feedback on a specific choice (e.g., “Which of these photos look better to post?”). What it is NOT for: In-depth business audits, reviewing long-form content, structural critiques of entire websites, or emergency crisis management. Complex issues will be tabled and moved to your next scheduled 1:1 monthly mentoring call. Respect and Fair Use : This channel is a 1:1 private support system between you and me; it must not be shared with third parties. Spamming, continuous flooding of messages, or aggressive communication will result in a warning, and continuous boundary breaches may result in the immediate suspension of your WhatsApp access without a refund.

Until the necessary safeguards are put into place to protect artists from AI stealing their work and the environmental impact has been considered, we will not accept AI art into the group. Harassment and inappropriate conduct: Harassment, inappropriate, aggressive or disruptive conduct will not be tolerated towards a staff member or community member. Behaviour that breaches this term will result in an immediate cancellation of a membership with refunds provided at the discretion of the organisation.

Whilst we are here to guide you on the right path, we do not guarantee specific financial returns, business growth, or success metrics. You accept full responsibility for your business decisions and outcomes.

These new terms will be in writing for both the organisation and the member/s to refer to. An example of new terms and conditions may be an exhibition where the costs, commission and other terms may differ for those participating in that particular event.

Your membership You don’t lack talent or ambition. You just need a professional, supportive environment designed to work with your health and builds long-term success Hi! I'm Elysian, the founder of Nirvanas Arts Collective, but please, call me Elle. You will be working with me! I'm a creative business mentor with a background in therapeutic art practices, support work and creative business ownership. I blend my knowledge of holistic wellbeing frameworks with my understanding of business strategy and my lived experience to create mentoring frameworks that support disabled and neurodivergent creatives to develop successful, sustainable businesses and careers. I started my first creative business at 16. I have exhibited, sold art online, and even ran a physical shop. But doing it all alone led to severe burnout. As an autistic creative with an energy-limiting condition, pushing through traditional hustle culture ultimately hurt my health and my growth. Everything changed when I built a business strategy tailored to my capacity. Today, my true passion is helping you avoid the same mistakes that led me to burnout. My mentoring and group sessions provide you with energy-led strategies, executive function support and practical creative guidance, whilst supporting you to connect with people in your industry. I'm here to get you on the right track to build both a sustainable and successful business, whilst being your biggest cheerleader! Why I Mentor: Moving Beyond the Hustle What is mentoring?

Diversity and inclusivity is at the heart of nirvanas arts collective. Find out more about what we stand for. Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Statement Nirvanas Arts Collective has been built on the foundational belief that every person deserves equitable access to support, community services and the arts industry. We understand that the arts are a powerful tool for social and political change by uplifting the voices of marginalised individuals to be heard, challenging stereotypes and fostering understanding amongst communities. Nirvanas Arts Collective is but a small part in a wider socio-political movement to improve access to many spaces that non-disabled individuals often have the unknown privilege of accessing. We strive to support disabled artists in any way we can, and we will not ignore the importance of intersectional identities and experiences, and how this contributes to creative expression. We acknowledge the ways these identities can come up against social barriers within creative spaces that can create further marginalisation. We strive to be an anti-oppressive organisation who holds ourselves accountable to maintain the integrity of the organisation's morals and beliefs, and show this through all aspects of our mission; we do not tolerate discrimination or hate within our organisation. Throughout our work, we promote the understanding and respect of everyone regardless of their gender, religion, disability or culture, and we actively celebrate our multi-cultural society. We want to break social barriers for all minorities to ensure everyone has equal access to arts opportunities and community services. We feel that everyone's fullest potential is only reached when they live as their most authentic self and we are committed to co-create a space with our members where all identities are accepted and celebrated.

Discover our story as a disability-led arts organisation. Learn about our social mission and how we are redefining creative careers for disabled and neurodivergent artists. About us Our founder's story Hi! I’m Elysian (Elle) Fyre, the founder and Managing Director of Nirvanas Arts Collective. As an artist who is chronically ill and autistic, I know firsthand how isolating the creative world can be. I spent years navigating severe ill health while trying to maintain my practice, which exposed massive gaps in the creative industry for neurodivergent and disabled artists. I founded this disability-led collective to change that. I believe you shouldn't have to choose between managing your health and building a successful creative career that works for you, no matter where your health is at. Our community is designed to protect your energy, prevent burnout, and give you a safe, structured space to thrive on your own terms. Our values Our mission: Redefining creative careers At Nirvana's Arts Collective, our mission is to dismantle the barriers facing neurodivergent and disabled artists. We bridge the gap between creative skill, sustainable business development, and genuine community. We look at your business through both a personal and professional lens. We believe disabled artists deserve the opportunity to expand their financial and occupational independence while fully nurturing their physical, emotional, and social well-being. Through our tailored membership tiers, we offer plain-English business resources, live accountability sessions, and 1:1 strategic mentoring designed to meet your specific pacing and access needs. We are here to help "hidden" artists bring their work to the forefront of the creative sector. We also provide creative community services in our local area and the surrounding towns and cities. Whilst our Collective operates online, we work with our local community through engaging and transformative projects designed with creative health in mind. How we work: Our social impact Based in Sheffield and operating UK-wide, Nirvanas Arts Collective is a non-profit organisation run by Elle and small team of disabled individuals. Because we operate as a social economy, 100% of our funds go right back into our community. We believe in the creation of a social economy where economic gain goes towards supporting the most marginalised communities. Your fees directly fund our projects and creates financially accessible memberships for those facing financial hardship. Meet the Team Founder & Managing Director Elysian (Elle) Fyre They/she Elysian Fyre is the founder and Managing Director of Nirvanas Arts Collective CIC and has lived experience of chronic illness, disability and neurodivergence. Elle lives with their wife in Sheffield, having moved from Derby, after completing an undergraduate degree in Creative Expressive Arts in Health and Wellbeing. Elle has always been creative, and in their teenage years took up hand embroidery as a way of coping with being housebound and their declining health. Elle is responsible for the everyday running of the organisation and aims to eradicate inequality and bring their passion of the arts to everything they do. Director Bri Holecza She/they Bri is a director of Nirvanas Arts Collective and has lived experience of chronic illness and disability. They are trained to a high level in their music studies and completed an undergraduate degree in Creative Expressive Arts in Health and Wellbeing at the University of Derby. She is passionate about the arts for health and wellbeing, particularly in the area of music to cope with the challenges of disability. Bri supports with the administrative duties and brings lots of ideas to achieve the future ambitions of the organisation. Director Joe Robbins He/him Joe is a director of Nirvanas Arts Collective, he has epilepsy and several other mental health conditions. He has a masters in cancer biology and an undergraduate in biomedical science but his true passion is helping disabled people reach their full potential.

Joe supports with administrative duties and hopes to help the Collective achieve all it can in its future endeavours. Director Rosie Mayes She/her Rosie is a director at Nirvanas Art Collective and is passionate about helping to make creativity accessible for disabled and neurodivergent artists. Since sustaining a spinal cord injury in 2009, Rosie has been quadriplegic, and this journey has opened up a new appreciation of discovering creativity, despite physical limitations. She returned to university after her injury and has a degree in History. She loves art, music and writing, and supports people with disabilities to travel by working to create accessible holidays. Our values Equity We believe equality can only be achieved through equitable interventions and projects. Diversity We aim to represent the many communities and voices within the services we provide. Inclusion Inclusion should go beyond just eradicating the physical barriers that impact inclusion, but make individuals and communities feel fully included through considerations of all individual needs, the language used, and acceptance of identities and differing life experiences. Resistance In the face of exclusive and oppressive structures, NAC strives to resist social and political change that negatively impacts the health, wellbeing and identities of disabled individuals and marginalised cultures and identities. NAC believes positive, beneficial change will only come about if communities resist and object to negative change. Accountability NAC strives to continually reflect on the actions and behaviours of those that operate within NAC that may harm or have a negative impact on individuals, communities and the environment. Through this we show that we value marginalised voices within oppressive structures. Social Economy We believe in creating a social economy that uplifts marginalised groups and supports sustainable economic development which creates real world positive impact to disadvantaged groups. Individualism NAC aims to see staff, directors, volunteers and individuals that use NAC services as individuals with their own perspectives, experiences, identities, cultures and communities. Co-production Those with lived experience are experts in their own experience. Those with lived experience should be centered in the decisions NAC make as they bring invaluable ideas and contributions to the direction of services.

Creative business mentoring Stop wasting time and money following business advice that wasn't made for you Find clarity and direction with tailored advice and support that makes success feel achievable. Find out what 1:1 mentoring is all about! Tell me more Most business advice doesn't consider the needs of bodies and brains that work a little differently. That's why I've made it my mission to support your creative journey whilst protecting your energy . Hi! I'm Elysian, the founder of Nirvanas Arts Collective. I'm here to be your mentor but also your biggest cheerleader. I'm a creative business mentor with a background in therapeutic art practices, support work and creative business ownership. I find business advice to be too rigid and lacks consideration when it comes to bodies and brains that work a little differently; my approach is much more holistic. Whilst you can expect to find practical business advice, my mentoring frameworks are extremely individualised with a focus on sustainable, wellbeing-focused strategy that supports your long-term business success. Whilst the Collective supports those who are neurodivergent and/or disabled (no diagnosis needed), my approach can also benefit carers, those in burnout and anyone seeking a better work-life balance or holistic approach to creative business development.
