Hello All, Please join us for The Arts and Business in Collaboration: A Lunch Discussion and Networking Event: Jointly hosted by Design Venturers Western Mass, and InCommn.com / Don't Eat Lunch Alone. When: Thursday, May 9th, 2013, 12:00 - 2:00 PM Where: The Apollo Grille @ Eastworks 116 Pleasant Street, Easthampton, MA To RSVP, and for more details, see the full listing: http://www.meetup.com/Design-Venturers-Western-Mass/events/98645182/ DVWM will be jointly hosting with InCommn's Don't Eat Lunch Alone (aka DELA: http://www.incommn.com/don-t-eat-lunch-alone), an Arts and Business networking luncheon, where we apply the principle of Design Thinking to creating effective, and dynamic collaborations between business and the arts. Help us brain storm, bring your questions, thoughts, ideas, and insights, and enjoy one of Apollo Grille's delicious lunches, or bring your own brown bag lunch. This coming Thursday, we will have two mill owners in attendance from Athol and Orange, who are in the process of transforming their buildings into multi-use space, with office space, artists space, and manufacturing spaces. We will be having an impromptu discussion, which I will theme "Repurpose", and a brainstorming session about creative new ways to make older spaces become alive and relevant to the purposes of today. This event was inspired by the Creative Economy Summit of 2012 whose topic was Art and Business in Collaboration (sponsored by the Fostering Art and Culture Project). We are providing this as a means to continue the conversation, and keep the spirit moving forward. We'd love to see you there!
