Frequently Asked Questions
What is Collective Coloring?
A free digital publication featuring artwork from some of your favorite artists.
We wanted to help provide a bit of joy and entertainment during this unique time, so we decided to form “Collective Coloring“, a free downloadable PDF packed with original coloring pages that anyone can print from home. Coloring is a great way to relax and to focus on something happy and it's a way to regain a little control when things can feel uncontrollable. We have brought together a worldwide coalition of artists who are working to spread inspiration, joy, and curiosity to those who need it most. We know that even while physically isolated, we can come together to foster a loving, supportive, and safe world.
CollectiveColoring was conceived, built, designed, populated, curated, marketed, and published within 72 hours. Just imagine what we could do with more time and resources. If you’d like to learn about our other projects, you can do so here: katyandtfish.com
Does the pdf Cost Anything?
No! We started Coloring Collective to form a sense of community that anyone could be a part of regardless of income. You can download the PDF directly from us without ever needing to pay or provide your email. We do currently accept donations which help to keep the project going.
If you believe in our project and wish for us to continue creating, promoting, and spreading the love, feel free to make a small donation. Optional Donations help to cover the costs of maintaining the website and domain, of accessing Adobe software, of promoting and spreading new content, and of the cost and labor required to create new releases. All of the artwork has been generously donated to the project but each image must be edited, every word must be proofed, every page need to be designed, etc etc. If you are able to give a little back, we promise to use 100% of that to bringing you new and exciting content however possible. Donations are never required but immensely appreciated.
Who can join?
We formed this to foster a sense of community and to connect people in unexpected ways. Anyone can join our collective by sharing their colorings using the hashtag #collectivecoloring
Our featured artists have been curated from an enormous selection and will change with each new release. If you'd like to submit your account for consideration, fill out our submission request form or contact us.
