Arts Business Collaborative is a nonprofit consulting firm supporting community-based social enterprise through the arts and STEM. The arts are a collection of dynamic media which bridge the disconnection that threatens to divide us as social animals. They provide a common human language which can be leveraged to relieve everything from crime to ethnic conflict to health disparities. By providing advice and training on community organizing, philanthropy, business planning, and program design, we help communities: --Make and sustain authentic, trusting connections --Use the arts for long-term community solutions --Strategically assign resources to elevate quality of life
