BUILD A BUSINESS PLAN

Build a Business Plan was a 3-part workshop series for creatives and entrepreneurs that helped them take their passion, idea or side hustle and build a complete business plan that focuses on sustainability and scale.

Each week we went through the fundamentals of a sustainable business and how to set themselves up for future success. 

DIVERSITY IN FOCUS

OPEN.innovate teamed up Ajax Impact and  Director R.T. Thorne to open a conversation about the importance of diverse voices and perspectives in the creative film and television process.

VISION BOARD PARTY

Vision boards provide us with daily visual reminders of our goals. Visualization is one of the most popular and effective mind workouts you can do!

TOWN HALL: Durham Youth & Creatives

We started all of this by talking directly to our community first! We asked you what you wanted to see happen with Durham's creative scene and what resources you needed in order to succeed.

From this we published a downloadable Townhall Report .
