Ever thought about developing or improving the small business side of your work as a traditional artist?  Join us for a free participatory session on starting or growing your own business, facilitated by Sofia Campos from Women’s Initiative for Self Employment (WISE) and Vanessa Camarena-Arredondo from The San Francisco Foundation.  This session will provide you a self-assessment of your business idea and help you develop next steps to launching your enterprise. Participants will engage with one another to develop your business ideas, and learn about successful examples of artist entrepreneurs who have participated in WISE’s business management training course.  The session will include a discussion on WISE’s programs in addition to other small business development resources and programs in the Bay Area.   Both men and women are welcome to attend.

Session is free, and light dinner will be provided, but reservations are required.

This session is in partnership with The San Francisco Foundation and WISE.
