Art Hub MAK:

the space where creators grow

We help creative people promote themselves and monetize their art through trainings, grants, and network oppotunities

Welcome to the art hub MAK!

We are the virtual hub dedicated to providing real educational, mental, and practical support to those in creative industries — whether you’re a seasoned professional or exploring art as a hobby.

Since 2019, we’ve hosted both online and offline workshops, sharing experiences and connecting people to help them reach their most inspiring goals.

Our Vision

We envision a world where artpreneurs never feel forced to set aside their creative dreams due to pressures like a "serious" career or family obligations. Instead, they deserve the freedom to express themselves and be heard.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build an ecosystem that educates, supports, and connects artpreneurs — not only with each other but also with investors, galleries, publishing houses, and other institutions that believe in their work.

Our Clients

We call our community members and clients “artpreneurs” — a blend of "art" and "entrepreneur."

We believe that skilled creators have every right to monetize their talents and engage with the world through their work.

Why Do We Care?

Many talented writers, artists, dancers, actors, and creators face obstacles that hold them back.

Here are a few of the most common ones:

Balancing Art and Routine

Time management is powerful, but life can get so packed with tasks that finding even an hour to work on your masterpiece can be a challenge

Creative Blocks Overcoming

Inspiration doesn’t always arrive on time, and this can be incredibly frustrating for an artpreneur’s career. Imagine your client, partner, or publisher waiting for your work, but you’re unable to finish it…

Self-Promotion and Marketing

Creating something incredible is only the first step. How do you get noticed by those who will admire, collaborate on, or buy your work?

Are you facing these challenges?
Or perhaps you're dealing with something unique?

The Story Behind MAK

2019

From Agency to Art Hub

MAK began in 2019 as an internal initiative within a B2B content agency. Initially focused on corporate blogging, the agency introduced creative workshops for its team during the pandemic. This quickly evolved into an independent training center, offering recorded workshops and live sessions.

2019-2022

A Growing Demand for Creativity

As more people sought structured learning in the arts, MAK expanded its focus beyond internal training. By 2022, it had become a platform for creative professionals, providing skill-building opportunities and professional development.

2022-2024

A Shift in Direction

In response to russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, MAK underwent a complete rebranding. The team cut ties with the russian market and language, redefining its vision and restructuring its approach to creative education.

2025

A New Vision for 2025

Today, MAK operates around the MAP approach, a step-by-step framework designed to help creatives overcome challenges. While training remains a key part of the platform, the focus has shifted toward building a supportive ecosystem for creators and art entrepreneurs.
