What is the Digital Campus?

The Digital Campus is New Masters Academy’s public Discord server—a dynamic community space where artists of all levels gather to grow, connect, and engage with art education.

Whether you’re a seasoned NMA student or just discovering us, the Digital Campus gives you:

• Access to free community channels and public art discussions

• A front-row seat to live demos, Q&As, and creative challenges

• Opportunities to share your work, get feedback, and connect with fellow artists

• Invitations to collaborate on projects, including student-led initiatives that offer real professional experience and even paid opportunities

It’s open to the public, but enrolled NMA students receive extra access: cohort-specific areas, private coaching channels, and updates tied to their level of access.

What happens inside?

The server is organized like a real art campus, with spaces for discussion, inspiration, events, and progress sharing. Here are just a few highlights:

• 🎨 Digital Sketchbooks – Create your own thread to share your artistic journey

• 🤝 Study Buddy Club – Team up with peers to stay accountable and tackle NMA courses together

• 🏆 Community Creates – Monthly contests and collaborative prompts open to everyone

• 📚 Resource Library – Tap into recommended tools, artist references, and discussion channels

• 💬 General Chat & Café Forum – Hang out, ask questions, or start a conversation about the creative process

• 🎓 NMA Courses & Live Classes – Public spaces to discuss current lessons, ask for guidance, and follow along with live sessions

• 💼 NMA Job Marketplace – Apply for odd jobs and creative roles that help NMA grow

For enrolled students, the server becomes even more valuable—with private cohort rooms, coach check-ins, and peer groups aligned to your MasterPlan™.

Why does it matter?

We built the Digital Campus to ensure that no artist has to grow alone. Whether you're actively studying through NMA or just looking to connect with serious creatives, this space exists to support your journey.

• For non-students: It's your gateway to NMA’s culture—join live events, participate in challenges, and learn from the community.

• For enrolled students: It’s your support hub—track your progress, build real relationships, and stay accountable with others pursuing mastery.

This isn't social media noise or anonymous feedback threads. It's a living, intentional space dedicated to building skill, craft, and creative confidence—together.

How do I join?
