Welcome to CALICU SPACE! If you are unfamiliar with us, hi, hello, we're a creative educational community based in Jakarta with the mission to spread educational and professional knowledge with aspiring creatives all over Indonesia. We believe Indonesian artists are incredibly talented! There's just a systemic problem that creates a knowledge gap in which many artists are unaware of professional knowledge and pathways. To pull a quote from our About Us page... CALICU SPACE was created to bridge that gap, not by promising overnight success or "secret formulas," but by making industry knowledge, practical experience, and meaningful connections more accessible to the people who need them most. Because we believe talent deserves guidance, not gatekeeping.
Although the website was only launched in late July 2026, CALICU SPACE has been operating since August 2025. We hope this website can serve as a centralized platform for all creative needs. As of right now, there are three main features available:
- Event Registration: You can now register for all of our activities (both online and offline) through our website. Please note that you would need to create an account first before you can register. Once you've registered for an event, you can see your history via your dashboard! If you have participated in a CALICU activity before the creation of this website, we encourage you to reach out to any of our admins so we can manually update your profile. You see, there are certain benefits and loyalty points that come with participating in an activity, and it would be a shame if your past records are disregarded because it wasn't updated.
- Digital Resources: You can now access certain digital resources via the Resource tab. Things like templates, lists, and more! There are free resources and paid resources. There is also a secret third thing... free for paid members. What this means is that the item is locked UNLESS you've spent money (any amount) on a CALICU activity or product, then it becomes accessible and free for you :)
- Blog: Lastly we have a blog where we will post articles and thinkpieces such as this one that you're reading right now. We will cover useful topics and provide updates, whether it be fun updates or more serious ones. If there is a certain topic you would like to see us cover, do let us know.
Of course, this is not where it ends. We plan on introducing more helpful features in the future, one at a time. We hope you will continue to support us and look forward to future updates!
With that being said, we would also like to stress that CALICU SPACE is a community. Our main goal is to show up for our community, our members, our family... not just professionally but personally as well. We welcome you with open arms whether you're a beginner, a professional, or even if you're just testing the waters. We would like to be there whenever you have any hardships you'd like to rant about or any milestones you want to celebrate. In fact, you can actually drop your messages in our open mailbox, #DearCalicu!
If you have any suggestions for improvements or requests for resources or topics, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via email (calicuspace@gmail.com) or via our Discord! Thank you for reading this far. We hope to create many wonderful memories with you!
