A Values-Based Approach to Connection and Change
Instead of a place-based approach like traditional chambers, we are using a values-based approach:

centered on Art, Nature, and Community.

 

Confluence is open to all, especially those passionate about supporting art-based businesses and organizations, nature-oriented initiatives  and businesses, and community empowerment groups that advocate for rights, health, safety, inclusion, and accessibility.

We believe everything is connected: art enriches community, community uplifts the arts, and nature sustains them both. Our mission is to amplify these connections—bringing people together to speak up for what truly matters and to become a collective force for local actions that create global impact.

WHAT DO WE CARE ABOUT?

Local. Accessible. Sustainable. 

We support small businesses, vendors, cooperatives, and nonprofits that foster ethical business practices, and create sustainable opportunities that benefit their communities.

Our work prioritizes collaboration over competition, accessibility, economic empowerment, and long-term business sustainability.

WHAT DO WE DO?

We provide small businesses with the tools, resources, and connections needed to succeed, from branding and marketing support to shared workspace and mentorship opportunities.

We create events, collaborative projects, and business education programs designed to uplift and strengthen local entrepreneurs.

WHAT DO WE CREATE?

Through shared resources, strategic partnerships, and innovative collaborations, we build opportunities that drive long-term success. 

 

We create spaces where entrepreneurs can grow, connect, and make a lasting impact in their communities.

WANT TO COLLABORATE?

We work with small business owners, local artisans, service providers, and community leaders to develop meaningful partnerships that drive business success and community impact.

Whether you need branding, marketing, business strategy, networking opportunities, or operational support, we’re here to help!
