Creative Enterprise becomes Incubator

The Creative Enterprise Program is becoming Incubator!

Start a Small Business in Tacoma

Spaceworks invites entrepreneurs with a creative/innovative business or business idea that benefits Tacoma’s community and who are seeking to grow a thriving business to apply to participate in our Incubator program.

The Spaceworks Incubator (formerly known as Creative Enterprise) provides relevant and meaningful small business training and peer-to-peer support to the participants to systematically grow Tacoma’s creative economy and generate destination-quality activity to engage and transform our community.

Spaceworks will offer information sessions and workshops for potential applicants to present ways to build a strong application and provide feedback to applicant’s proposals.

Information Sessions

Spaceworks will be sharing information about all our programs at monthly Information Sessions. Whether you are just thinking about applying, or you’ve started the application and have questions, join us to get your questions answered. Information Sessions will be held the first Tuesday of each month at varying locations around Tacoma.
