Production Team
Arts, Culture & Enterprise Project, Inc.
The Arts Culture and Enterprise Project, Inc(ACE)., is a New York not- for- profit organization. It was founded in 2006 by Loris Crawford, co- founder of the trailblazing Savacou Gallery, one of the first Galleries in the United States to focus on Caribbean artists. After 21 years as a cultural entrepreneur, Loris Crawford was motivated by the need to create greater opportunities for such artists unconstrained by commercial concerns. The mission of ACE is to promote awareness and foster markets for cultural products through such activities as sponsoring and organizing cultural events in the visual, performing and literary arts and helping cultural organizations, and enterprises to package their products and develop marketing strategies.
