FRESH TALK: MakeHER—Women in the Creative Economy
About The Event
From art to apothecary, jewelry to furniture, apparel to accessories, women makers are stepping into entrepreneurship and growing small, creative businesses. Join four creative women entrepreneurs to explore pressing questions: as more women turn passion into enterprise and define their own trajectories, what challenges do they face? Is the creative economy a true path to artistic and financial freedom? What role does a robust woman-powered network play in the journey?
Followed by Catalyst, a cocktail hour with a topic and a twist.
