EvokeOne
An online collective for art, design, photography and music
What Is Evoke?
Evoke is an online art, music, design, and photography collective. We have a roster of exclusive, invited artists from every corner of the world and all walks of life. Every few months, we release themed exhibitions to the public, showcasing our abilities. While we are going to be closing our public forums soon, we will be providing more content between exhibitions by pooling the efforts of our constituent members to find beauty and inspiration on the internet.We are not a corporate entity, although many of our members do practice their craft professionally. Individuality has, and always will be, our aim at Evoke. Our priority is to continually strive to discover and develop unique concepts to unleash upon the digital art community. By providing abstract yet guiding themes for our members, we allow everyone to grow as an artist without the difficulty, constraints, and pressures associated with paid design work.
If you are interested in becoming a member, you may fill out an application on the member forums or email one of our staff members. Please do not apply if you do not feel you are ready as you will only waste your own time and ours. That said, we are always looking for fresh thinking, unique talent to join our already prestigious and vibrant group of exclusive members - so if you have something to contribute or an idea for a project beyond a normal exhibition, do not hesitate to contact us.

Group History
Founded in June 2005 by Justin Bristow, Sean Graham, and Ted Yavuzkurt, Evoke began as a youthful online boutique art community. As numerous talented artists and designers joined the team, Evoke expanded beyond its original realm, recruiting killer musicians and photographers.With the release of the second and third versions of the Evoke website, Evoke quickly demonstrated that it was not just another run of the mill online art group.
Online art communities open and shut everyday. But Evoke has lasted for five years through thick and through thin.
Following the unveiling of the fourth Evoke website in August, 2007, Evoke exploded onto the forefront of online design collectives. By this point it was clear that Evoke would be around for the long haul. Composed of some of the brightest and most talented young creatives, Evoke began steering its efforts beyond simple exhibition releases.
Thus, in the summer of 2008, Evoke founder Ted Yavuzkurt began a project pairing Evoke artists with non-profit organizations, forming a symbiosis allowing budding artists to develop professional portfolios and enabling charities to put more money to the cause through donations of beautiful artwork. July 2008 saw this emerge with an exhibition in Sydney, Australia of Evoke artwork for Oxfam international.
However, it was also around this time that many of the Evoke administrators realized that as members grew older, there was less time available to contribute to the budding art community. The next two years were a period of both dormancy and renewal for Evokers as many longstanding contributors parted ways. Here we all realized that innovation was the key to survival. It took two years of work and coordination to build emerge with v5, the latest and most powerful release of our website.
Designed from the ground up to give members world-class collaboration tools to truly allow creativity to reign free, v5 represents a new era in the group's history.
Five years in the running, Evoke has once again demonstrated a firm and unyielding penchant for preserving an environment where young artists can come, grow, and thrive.
