With a focus on artists, makers, scientists, businesses, and nonprofit organizations, the “A Better Conversation: Spark Series” offers a public conversation to cultivate collaborative strategies for sustainability and success.
We’ve known for years that collaborative work is the strongest method of getting past systemic hurdles. When major limitations arise, however, the act of knowledge sharing becomes much more critical than it would otherwise be. Pulling from our peers, collaborators, and those who call ABC their partner, the speaker series bridges a communication and knowledge gap by communicating the knowledge often left unsaid.
A Better Conversation

This robust offering of free online arts and STEM business mindset courses from Creative Study, Speaker Series which features live talks with business consultants who focus on creative and grassroots endeavors, and one on one consulting with POC Business Consultants who focus on arts and STEM start ups and non-profits will allow clients to learn and problem solve challenges POC’s face as individuals, arts small businesses, and/or large organizations.
