Community Guidelines – Engagement Standards
Welcome to FLP Crestation, a community grounded in the profound appreciation of contemporary art and the transformative power it holds. Founded by Tavianna Vandellen in Mattoon, Illinois, this space is more than a platform for Contemporary Art Insights, Techniques and Tutorials, and Artist Spotlights. It is a collective committed to fostering respect, integrity, and thoughtful reflection upon the artistic journey.
Art is a vocation that demands both courage and humility. As members of this community, we bear a responsibility to uphold the values that honor creative expression and nurture a space where ideas can flourish authentically and ethically. These engagement guidelines serve as our moral compass to guide every interaction, ensuring that our exchanges contribute positively to the collective spirit.
Our Higher Purpose
FLP Crestation exists to inspire and cultivate a culture of intellectual and artistic rigor. Whether immersed in Art Exhibitions and Reviews, energized by Creative Inspiration and Ideas, or deep in the Art Movement Discussions, our intention is to uphold a dialogue that elevates, enlightens, and fosters mutual understanding.
Together, we are guardians of a community that values sincerity, respect, and the pursuit of excellence.
Core Ethical Values
- Respect: We owe dignity to every voice and creation, engaging with empathy and attentive care.
- Honesty: Authenticity in expression and citation strengthens the foundation of our collective trust.
- Inclusivity: Embracing diversity of thought and lived experience enriches our communal dialogue.
- Constructive Intent: Let all critique aim to edify and propel growth, never to belittle or harm.
- Accountability: Own your contributions and their impact within this shared space.
Guidelines for Meaningful Engagement
Approach each opportunity to contribute thoughtfully. Be it an exploration of profound insights from our Art Insight Vault or participation in our rigorous Art Expert Roundtables, harden your commitment to:
- Maintain relevance and depth in all communications.
- Articulate your thoughts with clarity and respect.
- Honor intellectual property by diligently attributing sources.
- Welcome diverse perspectives and foster productive dialogue.

Respect in Discourse
In this sacred space, disrespect, harassment, and divisiveness are antithetical to our values. We cultivate an environment where debates are reasoned and grace guides our responses.

Proper Sharing and Acknowledgment
Integrity in sharing sustains our community. Always acknowledge original ideas and content, including from our Writers Join program and external sources. This respect preserves the delicate trust we build.
