Craft Art Communities as an Entrepreneurial Community Ecosystems
Hello Sonny,
We resonate as kindred spirits in your efforts to envision and develop alternative markets for the ACE (arts, crafts and entertainment) domain. At Sohodojo we refer to this domain as the Small Is Good World where ’small’ isn’t just about size. Small Is Good is a collection of organizing principles that empower individuals to be less dependent on conventional organizations and the tyranny of impersonal markets. The creative spirits that populate your ACE world are mostly de facto citizens of the Small Is Good World.
Sohodojo is an independent, non-profit applied R&D lab working on Open Source software technologies and Open Content educational and business development materials to support solo and family-based microenterprise and small business networks in rural and distressed urban communities.
The stuff Sohodojo is working on, social business ecosystems, essentially intersects with all the design points you so astutely enumerate in your opening statement. Here’s a link to a two-page PDF document that includes an input-output diagram and a sources/distribution of capital diagram for a Small Is Good World Marketplace that may have application to your vision.
If you see the connection and are interested, let’s explore potential collaboration.
