Strategic Plan for the Advancement of Creative Entrepreneurs
Take your creative business to the next level
SPACE Residencies offer a unique opportunity for creative entrepreneurs by providing a workspace or storefront in a strategic location, as well as mentorship and support from industry professionals. Pattern currently offers residencies in two studios at the Stutz.
We get it, you’re an out-of-the-box thinker who busts through traditional roadblocks with creative solutions. We can relate! How do you think Pattern got to where we are now?
For the SPACE Residency, we took a page from business incubators and tech accelerators, and we’ve applied it to creative businesses. Mentorship from industry professionals, business development strategy, a cohort of like-minded entrepreneurs, targeted funds, and dedicated time to grow your business. Plus, a cheerleader for your wild ideas to get your brand in front of the right buyers or throw an event your audience will be talking about for years.

FAQs
What are you looking for in a resident?
We’re looking for folks who are serious about taking their creative business to the next level. For us, that looks like presenting a business plan with KPIs on how you intend to scale your work, brand, and income during your residency.
What is included in the SPACE Residency?
The SPACE Residency at the Stutz is a grant-funded program that offers wrap-around services for residents, including free studio space, a stipend, and business coaching.
I’m interested in applying, but not sure my business is the right fit. Should I apply?
We recommend that you at least be in the “side-hustle” stage, but we find that candidates who are in the “start-up” phase or beyond tend to get more out of their residency experience.
If you’re not sure exactly where your business is at, that’s totally okay! We invite you to apply all the same. We love having conversations with folks about what they might need to prepare for future opportunities.
