Raleigh Entrepreneur Small Business Program

On a mission to sustainably and strategically grow my art business, I was thrilled to have been accepted into the 2021 Launch Raleigh Small Business Program. After several rounds of interviews, 20 local entrepreneurs were selected to participate as part of the 2021 class.

Over the fall semester we are guided through a rigorous 10 week business curriculum, paired with small business mentorship, given access to business loan opportunities, and countless networking events throughout the NC Triangle.

As 1 of the 20 small business owners selected I am excited to jump into this program and scale my business strategically in order to better serve my clients and the greater arts community.

The Launch Raleigh program is fully funded by the Rotary Club Raleigh, Wake Tech, and the Small Business Association of North Carolina.
