Change is most effective at the local community. The Artesan Gateway facilitates events (virtual and in-person) that fosters collaboration & peer learning and sharing stories with like-minded organizations, entrepreneurs, designers and consumers at the intersection of sustainable production & consumption.

Through engaging in meaningful conversations, together, we can develop strategies and innovations that will allow organizations to increase the number of disenfranchised individuals employed, and build a following of like-minded consumers and peers, that will enable broader access to the marketplace.

Collectively, these seemingly disconnected activities, will in the long run increase the number of disenfranchised individuals one employs, build a following of like-minded consumers and peers to help support the journey, and in so doing, will enable broader access to the marketplace.
