Arts Business Accelerator

Arts Business Accelerator is a Beckley, West Virginia-based accelerator and business education program for artists, makers, and creative entrepreneurs, with a focus on women and BIPOC arts-focused business owners in southern West Virginia. It supports participants through cohort programming, workshops, coaching, private consults, online courses, bootcamps, subsidies, and networking to build pricing, marketing, wholesale, retail, and sales capabilities. The program is relevant for U.S. arts and creative small businesses seeking accelerator-style business development rather than traditional venture investment.
