This 5- week program is for entrepreneurs that want to reach customers through a storefront location, but need help defining a strategy and ironing out the kinks before making this big investment.

The Artisan Collective (TAC) is Chicago's South Shore community's retail + art hub that prepares creative entrepreneurs to successfully operate a storefront. TAC connects entrepreneurs with the resources and opportunities they need to pilot or improve operating a storefront with minimal risk. This program lays the foundation for businesses in the early stages of determining if/how a storefront is right for them and helps entrepreneurs with existing storefronts evaluate and improve their operations.
