I'm not a front-end dev, but I wanted to rebuild my personal site with Astro. If you're in the same shoes, I can't recommend enough Cosmic Themes.

Aniket P

Data Scientist

The Blogsmith Pro theme is ridiculously well put together and documented. I learned a ton about Astro engineering by studying it, and I've already used some of the components for my web design clients.

Frontend Engineer

Cosmic Themes provides some of the best Astro themes out there. They are well designed, easy to customize and, most importantly, the team is very responsive concerning support and feature requests.

Damiano L

C++ Developer

It's the cleanest template standup experience ever! I've never used Astro, but looking at the demo, code, it should be fairly simple pickup on top of my existing React and NextJS experience.

David G

Web Developer

Cosmic themes are for webdevs and marketers who don't want to waste time reinventing the wheel. Their themes have great examples of some of the creative things you can accomplish with Astro.

Travis B

Developer

My step-dad is starting a construction business and we're looking through Astro themes right now for his website and stumbled upon Cosmic Themes "Galaxy" theme. Absolutely filthy. Excellent work, man.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is behind all of this?

The Rock City Creatives Collective (R3C) is a community-driven effort by passionate creatives in Little Falls, NY. While many contribute to this initiative, the website, Discord server, and overall coordination are currently managed by Michael Vittiglio.

Who makes up the Rock City Creatives Collective?

R3C is a network of local creatives, both formally and casually connected. Led by Michael Vittiglio, it serves as the communication hub for The Art Thing. We also proudly collaborate with:

Does it cost anything to participate?

Currently, everything is completely free. Should any services require payment in the future, you’ll be notified well in advance. Some things will always remain free:

Access to the Google Calendar for local events
Read-only access to the Discord Server
All basic information on our website

How can I add my event to the calendar?

It’s simple! Submit your event via the contact form or share it in the #events channel on our Discord Server.

Do I need to sign up for the Discord Server?

No sign-up required—unless you want to join the conversation. You can still:

View the Google Calendar
Access event listings and resources on the website

But if you’re looking to connect and chat in real-time with fellow creatives, the Discord Server is where the magic happens.

Can I use Discord in my browser instead of downloading the app?

You can—but we don’t recommend it. The Discord Server works best as a standalone app for:

Real-time conversations
Community bonding (like chatting with friends!)

We chose Discord over traditional forums because we wanted a space that feels vibrant and connected—more like a community gathering than just another online group.

Why use this platform instead of Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram?

While social media platforms have their place, they often come with downsides like:

Misinformation
Privacy concerns
Ad tracking

R3C is designed to be a local, intimate, and meaningful space for connection. We’re not trying to replace social networks—but we’re offering a refreshing alternative where community comes first.
