Artrepreneur in Residence: Artists Are Workers
By TPL Programs
Explore the status of the artist in Canada, current working conditions for artists and the importance of advocacy.
The Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub (WEKH), in partnership with the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (FWE), recently launched the Sharing Platform, built by SheEO to help women entrepreneurs and the women who support them across Canada to easily connect.
Learn about the Sharing Platform which allows members to tap into the knowledge and reach of the entrepreneur ecosystem to share their own learnings, access business opportunities and collaboratively tackle challenges. Available in English and French.
Presented in collaboration with WEKH and OCAD University's RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers (CEAD). Moderated by Paola Gomez, TPL's 2021 Artrepreneur in Residence (ArtIR).
The Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub (WEKH) is a national network and accessible digital platform for sharing research, resources, and leading strategies, designed to address the needs of diverse women entrepreneurs across regions and across sectors. Powered by Magnet and with the support of the Government of Canada, WEKH enhances the capacity of women entrepreneurs and the organizations who serve them by linking them to resources and best practices from coast to coast, enabling service providers, academics, government, and industry.
Ryerson University's Diversity Institute, in collaboration with Ryerson's Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship and the Ted Rogers School of Management, is leading a team of researchers, business support organizations, and key stakeholders to create a more inclusive and supportive environment to grow women's entrepreneurship in Canada.
OCAD University’s RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers (CEAD) is committed to supporting the early-career advancement of all students and recent alumni at OCAD U through our career development, experiential learning and creative entrepreneurship portfolios.
