Techspressionist Co-Working

Techspressionist Co-Working sessions are weekly free, Zoom-based gatherings that offer a focused, supportive space for artists to connect and create together. Each session begins with brief intentions, followed by one hour of independent work and an optional share-out. Total time: 1.5 hours. Artists meet on Zoom every Tuesday at noon, Eastern Time.

Founded by: Cynthia Beth Rubin and Cynthia DiDonato

What to expect

• It’s free. Register once through Zoom; the organizers check that each registration is from a real person before approving it.
• Show finished work, work in progress, or nothing at all. Some people come just to work and see what others are doing.
• Most people make art during the hour; some use it to catch up on applications and other admin.
• Zoom captions and translation are available, and nobody minds accents or imperfect English.
• The time suits North America and Europe. If you’re elsewhere and would like to start a second group at a different hour, the founders will help you get it going.

In October 2026 the co-working group hosted Salon 111, where fifteen regular participants talked about what the sessions have meant to their work. Read the transcript →

Cynthia Beth Rubin called Cynthia DiDonato in 2023 with an idea: a small, regular co-working group inside the Techspressionist community. The first session took place in July 2023, and the group has met every Tuesday since without missing a week.

Co-working is peer-run, like the rest of Techspressionism. Nobody is in charge; a different participant facilitates each week, and others step in when the founders can’t be there. Rubin started it for accountability, a protected hour to make art in the middle of everything else artists have to do. Over time the share-outs turned into a regular group critique among artists who know each other’s work, and the group has led to collaborations and lasting friendships. New members usually find their footing within two or three weeks.
