Igniting an Empowerment Movement for Artists
In June of 2018, Embrace Creatives launched as a unique, professional network easily uniting artists and commercial buyers. Then something amazing happened.
EC Members began asking, “How can I help you?”
And when they started asking to be a part of our exciting vision, we realized that Artists want more than sales. They crave business skills, peer support and affecting positive change in their community. So using the scale of an online network paired with emotionally connective, in-person events, EC is igniting an empowerment movement for Artists.
Embrace Creatives is developing a grassroots movement to strengthen our handmade, wholesale ecosystem. We are mindfully growing from city-to-city, state-to-state.
Founder, Andrea Bogart knows it’s not enough to open the pathway so she’s setting up Embrace Creatives as an educational platform guiding artists to succeed with the exciting possibilities they’ll make here.
Embrace Your Potential
EC Ambassadors and other members are available to mentor, share their experiences and answer questions like;
- Which sales opportunities are trustworthy?
- How do I ship across country?
- What’s the best small business insurance for me?
