The Arts & Culture Capital Lab (ACCL) is a Neighborhood Capital Initiative by the South East Chicago Commission (SECC).
ACCL's mission is to invest in local artists and creative entrepreneurs as community wealth builders by supporting business capacity building and increasing pathways to economic self-sufficiency.
The NICE (Neighborhood Incubator for Creative Entrepreneurship) Network is an online community for local artists looking to "level-up" by making the transition from autonomous professional to enterprise level innovator.
The network offers access to timely funding opportunities, educational events and resource exchange with other creatives building sustainable ventures with long-term impact.
