Through dynamic programming and a community driven commitment the RCCE is reimagining the culture we design through arts education. MICA’s signature programs exist to engage creatives at various stages of their entrepreneurial journey.
Whether that is at the idea stage with the JUST/Start program or all the way to the ready to pitch stage through the UP/Start program. The aim of the RCCE is to meet you where you stand. The entrepreneurial journey is your canvas and you get to design a structured system that aligns best with your core values. It is common that you feel lost and rather confused when embarking in unknown waters. That is where one-on-one support comes in handy. You can talk it through with a creative entrepreneurship expert.
