THE ART OF BECOMING AN ARTISTE
A One-Time-Only Online Masterclass by Rachelle Cunningham

There comes a moment in your life when you stop waiting to be chosen and choose yourself. Rachelle Cunningham is an artist who has learned to dance between worlds of fine art and fashion, intimacy and spectacle, discipline and instinct. Her work has been seen, written about across cities. Clients include Chanel, Lanvin, Nina Ricci, Balmain, Vivienne Westwood etc, and has been featured in interviews with Vogue, Cultured, Madame Figaro, L’officiel Art etc. She has built something far more elusive than just a career but a living, breathing creative life.

And yet none of it arrived with instructions. After lecturing this particular class at Parsons The New School, speaking in Paris on Le Book Panel, and standing at the intersection of emerging and established creative worlds, Rachelle understood something most institutions never teach: talent is only the beginning.What follows is far more delicate.

The Art of Becoming an Artiste is not a traditional masterclass. It is a space that holds both the poetry and the reality of becoming where craft meets courage, where vision meets structure, and where sensitivity is not something to overcome, but something to refine into your power.This is not about learning how to make art but about learning how to be an artist in your body, in your mind and in your life. Because to become a working artist is to live in your truth.

In a world that rewards sameness, choosing yourself, fully & unapologetically, well that is its own act of rebellion, a beautiful & defiant rebellion. Inside this intimate, one-time-only experience, Rachelle opens the doors to what is rarely said out loud: the inner architecture of a creative career. The doubts. The discipline. The industry. The becoming. She shares the lessons she once searched for from shaping a practice and finding your voice, to understanding the invisible rules of the industry, building something sustainable, and protecting the very thing that makes you an artist in the first place. And because entering the creative world should feel like crossing into an almost mythical one lucky participant name will be drawn from a top hat and will win the Golden Ticket: an opportunity to work alongside Rachelle in a collaborative project. This is not simply a course, Rachelle believes the world needs more artists, people with authenticity, she hopes this will be a space for those who are ready to take their craft seriously and give it life and perhaps discover… what the circus ….. is truly ……….like.
