Community Partnerships
Accelerating Creative Enterprise
Accelerating Creative Enterprise (ACE) was a hugely impactful Tacoma Arts Live program supporting emerging BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and women entrepreneurs in the creative and cultural economies. It directly served over 150 working creative professionals, owners of small businesses, and emergent nonprofits with free and low-cost working spaces, professional development opportunities, and event support.
