About This Event
Learn more at a live info session about the 2025-2026 Design Catalyst Program!
The Design Catalyst Program is a six month business development experience designed for small creative businesses. Through a series of evening classes, participants receive hands-on guidance in business strategy, professional development, financial planning, and peer to peer networking. The program creates a supportive learning environment where creative professionals can grow alongside others, share experiences, and strengthen their business practices.
Participants are selected through a thoughtful and competitive application process that includes interviews, a review of proposed business milestones, and an assessment of financial sustainability.
Since 2016, the Design Catalyst Program has supported creative professionals with limited access to business resources. While the program has historically been open only to individuals from low to moderate income backgrounds, DESIGNxRI is now expanding access. Beginning in 2025, the program will welcome applicants of all income levels, with a tiered fee structure to ensure greater equity and accessibility.
Applications are open from July 1 - August 4!
Virtual Info session on July 10th, 6-7 PM. Please use the following Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84015555679
