Dec. 11, 2012. On Wednesday, Dec. 12, the Appalachian Women Entrepreneurs will hold a meeting at the the Appalachian Enterprise Center from 1 to 3 p.m. The meeting will be centered around Shop Local campaigns and will also focus on how artists can sell and promote themselves.
The portion of the meeting pertaining to helping artists with self-promotion will also tie in with the Watauga Arts Council’s plans for offering workshops on the business of being an artist.
There will be light refreshments at the meeting. It is free to attend, but those planning to attend should contact Yoko Morris at HandMade in America at Ymorris@handmadeinamerica.org.
About Appalachian Women Entrepreneurs
Appalachian Women Entrepreneurs is a program that connects Western North Carolina women with one another, with resources (including training and technical assistance) and with markets – for the purpose of creating new and expanded craft based businesses. AWE participants agree to provide background and track their progress as part of the program, which helps determine what program elements are most effective at helping develop successful rural entrepreneurial enterprises. Across the mountains, AWE is helping women build businesses that provide them with income and opportunity while delivering valuable goods and services to the local community.
