Join New Venture’s Club for a discussion on how the integration of arts and creativity in social entrepreneurship can bring growth and create positive change within communities. We will meet three artists, entreprenuers, and educators from the Northampton Community College Fab Lab who will talk about their experience developing their own businesses and will then answer questions moderated by the New Ventures Club. 

ART IN DIALOGUE is a series of interdisciplinary conversations between faculty and colleagues from both the university and the wider community - reflecting the ways in which their work is dynamically engaged with other fields of inquiry.
