    The Economics Of Art Forum

    The Economics of Art is a San Francisco Fashion Entrepreneur speaker series featuring Christopher Jablonski / Artefacture, Jennifer Lynne / Porcelynne, Jasmin Zorlu / Hat Designer, Scatha Alison / Fashion Designer and Yetunde Schuhmann / Executive Director of Innovative Fashion Council of San Francisco.

    Our mission is to have an open dialogue to engage in a Forum to scrutinize the idea of ‘ The Economics of Art.’ This series will focus on how to be smart, be practical and be useful on how to bring up solutions during an economic downturn by means of being creative.

    San Francisco is an epicenter of Creative Talents and we would like to hear what our local creatives have to say about small business solutions.

    From this series, we will learn from the speakers, their current projects, their creative modules and simply, how to create a network exchange amongst our peers in the San Francisco’s fashion and art community.

    Please join us on June 18th, Thursday Evening at Project One Gallery at 251 Rhode Island Street, San Francisco, CA 94013, a plush-positive modern venue two blocks from the San Francisco Design Center.

    The evening also includes a Fashion Exhibit and a Runway Show featuring Carly Mikkelsen, Jamie Cole, and Julia Meeks. All from the Academy of Arts and San Francisco State University.

    In addition, this event will be benefitting the upcoming San Francisco Fashion Awards, a summer event extravaganza.
