Creative Biz Owner Meetup

Free to attend! To register and save your seat, please "buy" a $0 ticket.

Here at Bloomery, we proudly foster connection by bringing creative individuals together. But we know there's a vibrant business community out there as well, and we're excited to open our doors to encourage support and collaboration amongst creative biz leaders in this casual meetup at our studio.

Honestly, how often do we get a chance to meet each other and foster friendship with fellow business owners, without feeling the need to be super professional and have our elevator pitch memorized? This is meant to be EASY to attend and connect with others who are as passionate as you are. We're all busy in our businesses, so let's make this simple and carefree as we socialize and get to know each other!

No professional attire or prepared marketing materials needed. Our meetup is simply a casual gathering, in which we might chat as a group with non-formal introductions, sharing what lights us up in our business, talk through our struggles, and help those around us solve problems. There is no specific agenda!

So if you own a creative small business — meaning, if you're an entrepreneur in the general Lehigh Valley area who has a unique business, serving the local community with heart — then you're welcome to join our meeting to share your journey and uplift others. We are especially seeking artists with a business mind, small shop owners that stand out, independent makers looking to grow, or service providers who like to do things a little more creatively! This isn't necessarily the right fit for someone interested in cold pitching or making sales (sorry!). But be open to meeting others and making friends who want to know about you and your business goals.

Join us at Bloomery Art Co. (with free and easy parking!) for an uplifting meetup that will leave you feeling a connection to the thriving creative business community that absolutely exists. Seats are limited to 20, so sign up quickly, and please make every effort to attend! Cancellations or no-shows could possibly mean wasting a seat for others.

It's suggested to bring a small snack for ready to share with others — keep it easy and don't overthink it! Ren will provide complimentary red and white wine, as well as coffee, tea, and cold drinks.

Thanks for bringing the good energy and positivity to our group! We look forward to coming together, making small biz ownership seem a little less lonely.
