We’re the backstage pass you’ve been waiting for.
Picture this: You book a destination wedding in Austin. Instead of panicking about finding local help, you open TAA, see 12 vetted artists available that weekend, and book someone whose work you’ve already seen. Done in 5 minutes.
Or: You’re building a 6-person bridal party team. Instead of posting in 15 Facebook groups and getting 200 random responses, you filter by specialty and availability, and message exactly the artists you want. They respond because they’re professionals, not hobbyists.
This is what I’ve built:
- For travelers: Find trusted local talent in any city
- For locals: Connect with visiting pros and expand your network
- For team builders: Scale fast with artists who actually show up
Pros connecting with other pros.
No more flaky DMs, endless group chats, or last-minute panic texts. This is your backstage pass to the artists who get it.
Built By a Working Artist
I didn’t create this as a tech founder. I created it as a working hair and makeup artist who was tired of my success depending on whether random Instagram finds would actually show up.
I needed a better way to: – Find reliable help in unfamiliar cities without crossing my fingers – Stay connected with my network of people who charge what they’re worth – Build a sustainable beauty business with artists I actually trust and respect
TAA exists to give beauty pros the professional network we’ve been desperately missing — until now.
How TAA Works
It’s simple:
Create your profile Add your specialties, availability, and travel radius — show the work that matters
Search and connect Filter by city, date, and role — find vetted artists who meet your standards
Book smarter, work better Collaborate with people who respect the work, the rates, and the professionalism this industry deserves
This isn’t a popularity contest. It’s a professional tool for serious artists doing real work.

TAA is already changing how smart freelancers and team owners work:
“I booked a reliable assistant for a New York wedding within 15 minutes. No stress, no interviews, no crossing my fingers.”
“I found four artists in LA that I now use regularly — all through TAA. My destination teams finally work.”
“This has completely changed how I scale my business. No more panic, just professional connections.”
Outside Jobs? We’ve Got That Covered Too.
Planners, photographers, and A-list teams regularly submit opportunities to The Artist Association — from special event prep to luxury destination weddings to brand campaigns. We review and post these inside the platform so our members get first access to the good stuff.
