When looking to collaborate with another artist be sure to be forthright, clear, and considerate. while communicating your desire to work together.

When being asked to collaborate, be sure to center your capacity, values, boundaries and worth while engaging with other creatives (All artists should consider budgets, availability, and resources to ensure all sides can create with their best potential and comfort)

Trust is built on a set of actions & consistency & the expectations created from those actions.

If the artist you’re collaborating with doesn’t give you clear communication, or doesn’t share your artistic direction, you can express what’s best for you & your needs, whether it’s finding an outcome for the collaboration or stopping the collaborative process altogether. 

When collaborating you should trust the artists you’re working with as long as you give each other the space to communicate directly and uphold each other’s artistic direction.
