The Flatbush Artrepreneur Project Reception Highlights

We culminated the 2013-2014 workshop series inspiring artists to entrepreneurship at The Flatbush Artrepreneur Project Reception, Friday, March 21, 2014.  We ushered in spring with an amazing collective of creative people.

The evening began with hors d’oeuvres , catered by, Charmaine Aberdeen’s, Charming Delights from Home and Marilyn Moore’s, Divine Appetite Catering.  Many connections were made as artists networked with others in the community.  Lindiwe Kamau and Pia Raymond of The Flatbush Enterprise, NostrandAvenue Merchants Association and Creating Legacies presented participants and volunteers with certificates encouraging their continued growth as entrepreneurs and community leaders respectively.

Our fabulous door prizes provided by our Flatbush Artrepreneurs went home with our fortunate winners.  We extend special thanks to, UltimateTax Preparers, Inc. for providing 4 winners with business owner gift bags.  We appreciate, Kareen Fagan of Enid B. Artisnal Skincare for donating a jar of French Gardens Shea Butter.   We are grateful to Aisha Zee for the splendidly themed cupcakes and for the grand prize, an original painting on canvas of a beautiful spring bird.  Most of all, we thank Gulinoz Javadova of TakenForever Photography and Saidkamol Javadov of Koll Production for capturing the essence of the evening on camera and production of the video.

We look forward to continued growth of our entrepreneurs.  Please support The Flatbush Artrepreneurs businesses and help spread the word.  We look forward to more exciting programming this summer from, The Flatbush Artrepreneur Project.  Stay creative!
