Working with performing & visual artists, as well as musicians I see amazing ideas and processes in response to real issues in communities. We are working on a project with banks/business, community and the arts sitting round the table trying to speak in an accessible language. There is already interesting discussion and at the least a desire to understand and look at creative solutions. Great article and responses to it.

On behalf of our readership, I very much appreciate your post. I am very aware of Bill Strickland's model and am in awe of all he has accomplished. I actually wrote him a letter when I started ETA and asked him if he had even a small amount of time to be a mentor to me. Needless to say, I was not lucky enough to have heard back from him. We learn the most from modeling and working under those who do amazing things like Bill. I am a firm believer in always being in a position to learn from someone who knows more and continue to put myself in situations where that can occur. I am extremely impressed by the work you are doing to empower women. Please encourage them to come here and contribute or even blog. This site can be of support to them. As a side note, you business perspective is quite valuable and I hope you continue to share it with the community here as well as share this blog with anyone in the business world you think would be open to being part of building a bridge. We need all the helping hands we can get! If there is any way you envision cross fertilizing our work - by all means we must connect. Mark,

Social entrepreneurship has codified over the last 10 years around issues related to essentially two aspects of the business model; innovation and sustainability. One of the most innovative and sustainable business models out there is Bill Strickland's Pittsburgh based Manchester-Bidwell Corporation, which combines business enterprises in multiple industries with the development of artists in several mediums. Strickland is a social enterprise luminary, and perhaps the sole strategist of any size using the philosophical model you've proposed. Here in Dallas where social entrepreneurship is entirely embryonic, the Strategic Business Intelligence Group is working to utilize a model like the one you've presented inorder to tap into the passion pursuits of women, and particuarly minority women entrepreneurs. These business markets represent high performance growth acceleration and they are loaded with people who display tremendous individual passion for change. I believe the opportunity to bridge those two things within the arts world represents next decade thinking that will empower the US economy for well past the mid-21st century. I commend you for taking a pioneering approach most have not yet seen. Mark R. Lewis CEO-SBIG Dallas Lisa…I think you’ve put your finger on the pulse of something extraordinarily powerful.

I am searching for a social business that utilizes graphic design skills to promote artists (image or word) with a message of justice. I feel compelled toward a mission that builds a bridge between the artist world and the broader community in a way that would expose the artist and gain for her/him greater publicity, and would expose the broader community to art with a positive message to influence social change. Through a product line and networking skills, both sides of the bridge would benefit. Please let me know if you have any connections I could make with businesses of this sort in the Minnesota area. Would love to travel too. Well, I am delighted to find this article!
