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
i like the concept cultural entrepreneurship but i do not fully understand whether the concept can be adopted effectively in Africa.
I need to get a clearer insight on how culture can be transformed into a meaningful thriving activity.
Otherwise Alice that is a superb thought.
David,
There are several people building cultural enterprises as well as doing cultural enterprises development in Africa. For example, the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market is starting a new market in Lesoto, SAGE International is supporting a youth digital film project in Nigeria, and Drik Photo Agency – doing some work in Africa. What do you do in Africa and how might cultural entrepreneurship be helpful? – Alice
