Abstract

This paper seeks to explore artists of color as social entrepreneurs by investigating the synergy created in collaborative workspaces, also known as coworking spaces. They have emerged as nontraditional office spaces that provide their members professional meeting rooms, opened floor plans, and a creative environment among other things. With the influx of coworking spaces and their perceived notion of presenting serendipitous encounters, spontaneous exchanges and collaboration between the professionals that visit their space, can artists of color thrive in coworking spaces? Particularly a coworking space that values and supports social entrepreneurship such as Impact Hub Minneapolis. As social barriers continue to impede artists of color, the slow response from philanthropic supporters have not addresses new ways of providing resources. This study contributes critical discussion through empirical analysis of a project aimed at seeking new resources and support for artists of color as social entrepreneurs, by exploring what coworking spaces provide.
