Entrepreneurship Program

The Collective endeavors to:

Strengthen the art-related

businesses in Houston with a special sensitivity to those art-related businesses in the Third Ward/Midtown neighborhoods primarily and then in other sectors of the city, state and region so that the work of African American artists are recognized and factored into economic development strategies.

Strengthen relationships

with artists and other creative people for the purpose of identifying and/or creating products and or prototypes for production and sale.

Outreach to businesses

non-profit organizations and other entities for collaborative arrangements for access to appropriate space for the sale of products (i.e. gift shop space, vendor/booth space).
