A high-quality multidisciplinary arts incubator designed to ensure that young BIPOC/women can explore their talents without any barriers

Flaunt It Movement’s Annual Creative Incubator (FICI) is a six-week, intensive arts and business program that introduces 2SLGBTQ+ BIPOC youth to creative entrepreneurship and artistic career pathways. This year, we are working with up to 10 youth with clear passions, interests, and goals in pursuing creative careers; we will provide the resources and networks (education, training, mentorship, coaching, workshops, equipment, etc.) to get started. Our youth-led, in-person program provides hands-on experiences teaching you the power of becoming artists, activists, storytellers, and ultimately, creative entrepreneurs.

★ INTRODUCTION TO CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP Certification: 

Participants will attend workshops led by industry professionals and be trained to start their own creative businesses/brands. They will collaboratively work on a cumulative multimedia art form that represents their identities, demonstrates their artistic growth, and showcases their work as emerging self-employed artists. All costs for transportation, food, supplies, equipment, training, and more, with stipends available.

The program empowers aspiring artists to explore and build their talents and skills in different art forms while: (1) starting their brands/business; (2) building a portfolio, and (3) collaboratively creating a multi-media project that will be published in Flaunt’s Visual Anthology Issue 3. Upon program completion, select students may also be offered a year-round, part-time, paid internship opportunity to continue building their skills while supporting Flaunt-It's programs, productions, and community initiatives.
