Workshops.
Workshop: The Indigenous ‘Niche’ Market.
An open discussion on Indigenous women in the arts.
October 15, 2020
7:00pm-8:00pm
Presented by Dawn Setford, founder and president of the Indigenous Arts Collective of Canada.
Indigenous women matter; our art forms matter, our knowledge matters, our success matters. We are valuable, diverse, strong and spiritual. Most of us do not strive to be business women but we rely heavily on our art to support our families. Together, we can increase our knowledge, increase our exposure and sell more of our work.
This workshop is an introduction to a series of webinars created for Indigenous women who are exploring entrepreneurship. It is meant for home based artists – mothers, daughters and sisters who have few resources and it is meant to empower them with the knowledge that they are supported, are important, are strong and are very capable of increasing income security with just a few tips.
The goal is to seed ambition and grow community leaders that are motivated to expand their business practices to include branding, e-commerce, employment opportunities, and economic development.
Registration via ZOOM is now open for all Algonquin women!
When: Oct 15, 2020 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
