Project Overview -
To develop creative industries business incubators focused on the development of entrepreneurs in music, film/video, and creative industry-focused technologies at three PARD cultural centers: the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center (MACC); the George Washington Carver Museum (Carver); and the Asian American Resource Center (AARC).
The City is interested in providing underserved local musicians and artist communities with resources to: perform, rehearsal, live stream, and record. The City also wants to provide the artists with assistance in business development, marketing and other entrepreneurial needs.
The first community meeting will take place before focus groups are held and will provide the community with an understanding of what a music hub is, the process that will take place to assess the needs and create a plan for one and provide an opportunity to network with musicians and other key stakeholders and identify possible individuals for focus groups and small group sessions.
