4th Annual Creative Business Expo

From the folks @ the Denver Cultural Resources District:

Friday, January 9, 2009

 
The Denver Office of Cultural Affairs invites you to participate as a workshop presenter and/or exhibitor at the fourth annual Building Creative Businesses Expo (BCBE), a program for the creative community, including artists, filmmakers, musicians, gallery owners and designers. As part of the Create Denver initiative, the BCBE is a “one-stop” opportunity for creative individuals seeking information on business development, resources and opportunities to stabilize and grow their creative enterprise. The 2009 BCBE is scheduled for Saturday, March 21.
 
There is no fee to participate! This is a great opportunity for your organization to grow membership, market its services and create greater awareness to a new community of creative individuals and businesses. Attached is more detailed information about the BCBE as well as a participation response spreadsheet. We request that this be faxed or emailed to DOCA by Friday, January 23, 2009 for inclusion in the online brochure and media announcements.
 
Now more than ever is a time for our creative community to collaborate, share ideas and resources, and work together to support Denver’s venerable creative enterprises. We hope you will join us, Mayor John Hickenlooper and keynote speaker, Elaine Mariner at Colorado Council on the Arts, in helping us make this a day worthwhile for you and Denver’s creative community.
 
Thank you for considering this partnership opportunity.
