In 2011 CCE was founded. Our mission has grown over the past 10 years, and today we are the Bridge Builders between Passion and Purpose to make the Dreams of Creative Entrepreneurs become Reality. Our programs expand the capacity for creatives and artists to emerge as viable entrepreneurs.

10 years in the making, the Center for Creative Economy has a LOT to celebrate and it wouldn’t be possible without our community.
