What is an art and business incubator?

A business incubator is an enterprise that welcomes and assists entrepreneurs in their journey on establishing a business. Those who have early stage businesses or start-up ideas can benefit from workspace and equipment offered by the incubator. Other types of assistance are also available, such as help in creating business models, counselling, and networking with the other start-ups in the building, as well as being ushered into the community of start-ups. We also fully welcome local artisians who are developing their art but need a platform to launch their entrepreneurial needs.
