WHAT IS THIS?

Sacramento Creative Economy Meetings are gatherings we host to share available grants, programs, and opportunities for independent creatives and small nonprofit organizations.  This is a safe place where we share ideas and discover what problems within our community need attention.  

We are so much stronger when we stand together, listen to each other and collaborate.
