Folly Cove Studio LLC is a space for people to evolve their small businesses or nonprofits, and for artists to create new work. Founded in 2022, the goal of Folly Cove Studio is to support makers across disciplines with practical tools. They create connections between enterprise and the arts. They nurture hard-working creative people so they can clear their heads and plan next steps for their organizations in a judgement-free environment.
The Folly Cove Intensive is designed for small business owners, or nonprofit directors, who are in the midst of growing and adapting their product or service. The 2022 summer program focused on supporting entrepreneurs and makers who are working in the Health, Wellness or Food sectors.
Fellows (the business owners admitted to the program) learn from experts in the legal, business, finance, marketing, and operational professions, and connect with other North Shore makers and artists. The workshops are customized to the needs of the fellows.
For the 2022 session, Founder & CEO of Fit4Dance, Laci Chisholm, taught a workshop to both cohorts. The session title was: Engaging the Community. Laci received a 100% high positive rating. Below is feedback from some of the fellows:
“Laci's presentation was EVERYTHING!”
“Laci was definitely a highlight for me. It was incredibly inspiring and allowed me to see that those types of businesses are out there and that they are successful.”
“Laci was truly INSPIRING!! Her work in her community and how she intersects both the dance and community aspect truly re-ignited my passion for the work I do in my community. Also how its ok to combine both corporate and community into our businesses. I was feeling so lost on how to merge the work I do on both ends of Colectiva. Tuesday's session really helped me to understand the importance of merging and connecting them both.”
“Laci was amazing. Inspiring and compelling. I love how you have so much emphasis on community.”
Laci enjoys sharing the Fit4Dance story with other entrepreneurs and hopes she can encourage others to create businesses that have a social impact.
