OCAD University is working on a project to incubate and develop a platform cooperative that helps artists and designers grow their business online, while developing creative entrepreneurship skills.
This interactive session allows you to hear from students and alumni currently involved in bringing the project to life, as well as an opportunity for you to join in the discussion. You will leave this session with a better understanding of cooperatives, what it means to become a member of a cooperative, and learn about the project so far.
Note: This event is open to OCAD U students, alumni and individuals who are taking/or currently taking courses with OCAD U's School of Continuing Studies. The CEAD is a designated masking area. We ask that all guests remain masked throughout the event. Learn more about OCAD U's masking policy
