Tired of being unpaid/underpaid for your art? It’s time to imagine a new future and new economic systems under which artists, cultural workers, and everyone in our economy can thrive.

Join us to explore how to co-develop and sustain thriving, creative business models that center the power of ‘we’ by activating ancient-future principles of solidarity economy!

We will offer interactive panel discussion featuring thoughtful business owners and organizational leaders whose business models, ways of working, and strategies for success reflect a commitment to sustainability, equity, and solidarity economy. Co-facilitated by DeeArah Wright, panelists will share experiences, insights, and tangible recommendations, and topics will include: cooperatives, capacity-building, responsiveness, and business development and growth.

Panelists:

• Austin Robey, Ampled
• brandon king, Cooperation Jackson
• Jeff Sterrenberg and Leah Galant, Meerkat Media
