About this Event
Collective Works brings together creative entrepreneurs and small business owners from every discipline across Massachusetts for one day of conversation, connection, and shared strategy. From solo artists to studio owners, fashion designers to brand founders, this summit gathers people building businesses rooted in creativity — and gives them a room full of others who actually get it. The specific challenges of running a creative business rarely show up in standard entrepreneurship advice, and there's no substitute for learning from people who've built something similar from the ground up.
Whether you're an artist, designer, musician, writer, shop owner, brand founder, freelancer, student, or running any kind of creative small business — if your creative work is your livelihood, or you're building toward that, this summit is for you. Come exchange ideas with fellow creators, pick up practical strategies from entrepreneurs who've done it, and connect with key support organizations at our resource fair.
