I believe the answer is:

raring

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'eager' is the first definition.
('raring' can be similar in meaning to 'eager')

'group of artists?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for raring that I've seen before include "Very eager (to do something)" , "Very keen (to go?)" , "Eager (to go?)" , "Agog" , "Eager, impatient" .)
