About this event
3 hours
Join us in collaboration with
Libro Credit Union
for an evening to start conversations about social impact, creativity and what it means to be an artisan.
Whether you identify as an
artist, maker, artisan or changemaker
, you may have encountered a perceived
“gap”
between honing your craftand developing your entrepreneurial skills. The aim of this event is to bridge some of this perceived “gap”.
Artists change the world as we know it socially and make an impact on the culture of communities around the world. In this event, we celebrate the dynamic intersection of artistry and social entrepreneurship.
Through insightful discussions and interactive sessions, we will explore topics such as
financial resilience, confidence building as a creative, sustainable business practices and tips for commercializing artisan products.
Artful Impact is a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and inspire action.
As Dr. Wayne Dyer said “Everything that exists was once only imagined.”
