Brooklyn Creative Market : Crown Hts Sat. 6/4 meet B'Klyn's newest creatives!

This Saturday June 4th on the rooftop of the Brooklyn Children's Museum will host the Brooklyn Creative Market and you should stop by.

Why and What's this? 

It's a gathering of youth entrepreneurs, new and emerging young people from their teens up, who are being granted an opportunity to bring their Fashion, Music, Photography and art in general, to the public and gain valuable business and marketing experience.

The event will feature a youth lead pop up shop for young creative entrepreneurs to showcase their products and services to the world.

50+ creatives will display their work in Art, Fashion, Food, Photography, Music and more.

• Live performances
• Two DJ's
• 50+ vendors
• INteractive activities
• Pitch competition where one  business will win $1,000 for their startup.

For some it will be the first time they're bringing their creativity to the public and for all it will be an incredible boost to confidence and self-determination.

I'm proud to say I helped support this event and as a result 6 of the best entrepreneur's business plans will receive $1000 to act on their ideas.

It's exactly the type of thing many of us talk about, giving real world business opportunity and experience to creative young native Brooklynites in a way that helps them focus and build their future careers.
