Triangle ArtWorks Expands Support to Durham Arts Businesses Through Participation in Durham E3 Alliance
We are thrilled to announce that we have been selected to be a part of Durham’s E3 Alliance. As an Alliance member, we will be one of the service providers/advisory council supporting E3 Durham. E3 uses a community-centered, “hub-spoke model”, with E3 acting as the central administrative hub and Alliance members serving in the role of spokes, accepting referrals for clients who come to E3 Durham looking for assistance. Learn more about E3 history and past success here. As Durham is a city full of artists and arts based businesses, Triangle ArtWorks will be providing targeted support for these businesses that enter the E3 program.
Are you a Durham business that needs support?
E3 Durham features a ‘Learn to Earn’ (L2E) program where entrepreneurs can accumulate entrepreneurial education and network connection ‘credits’ that can be used to procure up to $2,000 in subsidized professional services from local Business-to-Business (B2B) service providers. Additionally, enrolled entrepreneurs also have the opportunity to participate in cohort accelerators and receive support for capital access, certifications, and procurement. They’ll also have access to a vibrant physical hub of activity based in a culturally-rooted downtown co-working community.
Durham County entrepreneurs are able to enroll via appointment at the new E3 Durham center located in downtown Durham, or online. Once enrolled, a Business Navigator will help you set a launch or growth plan and connect you to support services and resources to meet your unique needs.
