Creatives Meet Business (CMB) is a community for creatives of all walks to come together and learn from the business world so that they can have sustainability in their careers. While we know that monikers like “creative” and “artist” are already part of a creative’s portfolio, CMB helps add a few new titles to their resumé such as, “small business owner” and “entrepreneur.”
So what is CMB you ask? We’re an event and podcast series that helps empower Austin’s creative sector by connecting them with the various businesses who support them. At each event, we gather five professionals from a highlighted field for five roundtable discussions to share principles and practices from their industry.
CMB was founded by Ashland Viscosi, a unicorn of sorts, as she was actually born in Austin, Texas. Ashland has a background in film and production and works with several arts-based organizations in Austin. A proud graduate of the Leadership Austin Emerge program, she loves being a part of the Austin creative community. Her favorite things are people, conversations, cheese plates and brunch.
