The Mount Royal offices of the Baltimore Creatives Acceleration Network (BCAN) were packed with women creatives/entrepreneurs – or those considering that option – for an evening all about feminine entrepreneurship.
The evening began with an opportunity to get a professional headshot done upstairs, and networking going on downstairs. Guests then had a chance to participate in a panel discussion with several creative women entrepreneurs. Then, it was back to mixing, mingling and browsing a mini-market featuring the products of several local women-owned businesses.
