SUMMARY:Art at Work
DESCRIPTION:This mid-year session invites artists and creative business owners to take a thoughtful\, practical look at how they price their work—and why it matters. \nPricing is one of the most challenging and often overlooked parts of a creative practice. It’s tied not only to sustainability\, but to confidence\, clarity\, and how your work is valued in the market. This session is designed to help artists step back\, reassess\, and move forward with a stronger\, more intentional approach. \nTogether\, we’ll explore how to: \n\nEvaluate current pricing and identify where adjustments may be needed\nUnderstand the true cost of your time\, materials\, and expertise\nAlign pricing with your goals\, audience\, and positioning\nCommunicate your prices clearly and confidently\nNavigate common pricing challenges and mindset barrier\n\nParticipants will leave with practical tools and frameworks they can apply immediately\, along with space to reflect on what feels sustainable for their individual practice. \nWhether you’re refining your current approach or starting from scratch\, this session is an opportunity to reset\, recalibrate\, and build a pricing strategy that supports both your creativity and your livelihood. \nSpeaker: Lauren Smith-Petta\, Senior Director of Education Services\, JumpStart\, Inc. \nLauren Smith-Petta is an artist\, entrepreneur\, and entrepreneurship educator based in Cleveland whose creative practice is intentionally interdisciplinary.

SUMMARY:Small Business Education Session: Unlocking “Vibe Coding” for Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes the right tool for your business simply doesn’t exist\, so you build it. \nThat’s the idea behind “vibe coding\,” an emerging\, practical approach to using AI to create custom apps\, workflows\, and solutions tailored to your unique business needs. \nIn this session\, Tim Marshall will walk small business owners through how AI can help you design the exact tool your workflow is missing. Tim has been doing extensive work in this space and will introduce participants to the principles of vibe coding as well as Base44\, a platform used to vibe code a tailored application for your business. \nDuring the session\, Tim will: \n\nExplain what vibe coding is\nProvide an overview of the Base44 platform and how it works\nShare examples from the COSE AI for Small Business Cohort\nDemonstrate the range of what’s possible: from internal tools (like client onboarding workflows) to entirely new customerfacing products or even standalone businesses\n\nWhether you’re curious about what AI can do or ready to build your first custom tool\, this session will give you the clarity\, inspiration\, and next steps to get started.
