This is the first ever Creative Economy Neighborhood at GFX and we couldn't be more excited.
I wanted to extend an invitation to the GFX (Growth Factory) event on October 10th. If you are an entrepreneur, start up or creative, I believe this event would be a fantastic investment of your time. GFX is an annual gathering of startup companies, venture capitalists, and technology innovators—a true haven for cutting-edge developments in our region. Last year’s event drew over 1,500 attendees, showcasing some of the area’s most exciting innovations.GFX is led by Mark Hainey and Monique Brown, with whom I’ve been humbled to connect with through my work at the Roseville Venture Lab. As part of the Roseville Venture Lab, I have ran outreach and engagement initiatives such as Town Halls and Youth Entrepreneurship Camps.
This year, I was offered to curate a Creative Economy Neighborhood at GFX, which will feature a variety of engaging activities including a circus during the awards ceremony, interactive music petting zoos, a panel discussion on the Creative Economy, and our band will be performing after the awards ceremonies. I promise this will a fun and knowledgable event.
We know that arts and culture don’t just enhance our wellness and connections—they also have a significant economic impact. In Placer County alone, the Creative Economy, including arts and nonprofits, generated $26 million, contributing $4 million in tax revenue. Studies have shown that cities investing in the arts also experience increased tourism and economic benefits.
Through our Creative Economy Initiative, we are setting the stage for reinvestment in culture, community connection, and economic sustainability. This initiative is aimed at creating lasting impact by driving both capital and reinvestment into the wellness and vibrancy of our communities.I would love for you to join us at GFX and see firsthand how the Creative Economy is driving growth and opportunity.
For more information on the impact of the Culture Economy here is the Arts Economic Prosperity 6 Report from the American Arts.
