DreamPirate Production Hub: Scaling the artside neighborhood

The "big idea" is to launch the DreamPirate Production Hub, a neighborhood-based, high-fidelity print resource for independent artists. After 15 years as a professional artist in Grand Rapids and 5 years as a business owner on Division Avenue, I have seen local creators lose up to 70% of their revenue to online corporate fulfillment houses. My goal is to keep that wealth here on the Avenue.

DreamPirate Production Hub: Scaling the artside neighborhood

About this idea

By bringing an Epson SureColor P7570 24-inch Wide-Format Printer to the Heartside district, we will offer a “Neighborhood Production Desk.” We will provide local painters, photographers, and digital artists with museum-grade Giclée printing at a fraction of corporate costs. This allows our creative community to keep their earnings, control their archival quality, and scale their small businesses right here in Grand Rapids.
