Alice Loy

In 2007 I helped found the Global Center for Cultural Entrepreneurship so I could combine my passion for creating thriving cultural communities, addressing economic challenges, and building successful enterprises.  I love working with cultural entrepreneurs – they are bold, resourceful, and bring innovation into our lives. Living in Santa Fe allows me to soak up culture and engage with cultural enterprises at every turn…Santa Fe is ground zero for cultural entrepreneurship thought leadership, policy development and markets.  Cultural entrepreneurs can reach me at alice@culturalentrepreneur.org.
