what is the creative hub?
the CREATIVE HUB is our love letter to the working creative. it’s a space where you can…
++ check out creative equipment you’d need to start a podcast, learn how to dj, try digital illustration, take photos of the jewelry you make to sell online … etc. at sliding scale starting at $0 ZERO dollars
++ connect with other creatives and businesses that are committed to helping others cross
++ get help with documenting your work, figuring out how run a small biz as a creative, knowing your worth and actualizing your vision
++ get what you need and also what you didn’t know you needed
what are barriers of entry to the creative industry?
barriers to entry can be things like needing extra $$ for expensive gear, not knowing what gear to buy, or not knowing even where to start. it can be not feeling comfortable in a space or knowing how navigate contracts and residencies and sponsorships.
it can be the headache of navigating the steps to start a small business, and not knowing who to ask for help. sometimes it’s not having the tools to document your work or the support network to have extra hands on deck when you need them.
every industry has different barriers, but we can connect with folks who have been there before. we help break down these barriers by helping you get your foot in the door and learn new things, document your work, and know your worth as a creative.
what does the $$ go towards?
every dollar of our profit goes towards our vision to build the CREATIVE HUB at our HQ and support the working creative.
among other things, your money goes to…
and get our buildout going so we can open in 2021 !!!
is this a non-profit?
no, we are NOT a non-profit, but we operate on shared values and collective vision. we pay our employees well and prioritize their wellness and mental health. we are making sure we can all take time to dream of and implement ways to dismantle capitalism and white supremacy. we are dedicated to paying forward every bit of what is and has been given to us. we believe every business and organization should operate this way.
how can i support?
