FASO Artist Society: Membership Beyond Website Building

other · 2026-08-06

FASO, a website platform for artists, has rebranded its service as the FASO Artist Society, positioning membership as entry into a professional organization rather than mere software access. The society's mission is to restore beauty to human life and ignite a renaissance of human creativity, explicitly opposing AI-generated art. Membership, included with any active FASO website, offers professional education, marketing guidance, critiques, community discussions, juried exhibitions, awards, and recognition. The FASO Exhibitions award over $35,000 in cash and service awards monthly, with collectors reportedly building significant collections from discovered works. The Artist Circle provides a private forum for career discussions and feedback, supplemented by monthly live webinars with successful artists. Founder Clint Watson emphasizes that artists should not navigate marketing and career building alone. A free 30-day trial is available, and an Associate Membership option for non-FASO website owners is planned at $79/year as a founding member rate, with a waitlist open. The society aims to free artists from the demands of social media algorithms and support human-made art.
