A big thank you to all who have been involved in Branching Out. It has been a fantastic opportunity to explore the potential of social enterprise in the arts. While the project is wrapping up in a couple of weeks, the story will continue with exciting things afoot in Tas Regional Arts.
We are finalising a paper about the project with outcomes and recommendations that will be available.
So please stay in touch if you have a great idea and thanks again to the artists, organisations, especially TRA-K & Interweave & communities who have inspired and been inspired.
For more information about Social Enterprise check out the Social Traders or Social Ventures Australia websites.
There are some great things happening in this space including a review of the Tasmanian Social Enterprise Loan Fund and an upcoming workshop with key stakeholders to explore what is needed within the state. This fits within the Social Inclusion Unit of the Tasmanian Government.
And remember to download a copy of the Tasmanian Social Enterprise Study to see the key recommendations for the sector.
I will continue to work with Tasmanian Regional Arts, but in an entrepreneurial role supporting TRA branches, affiliates and regional artists. So please stay in touch and watch this space. xKylie

Support for Social Entrepreneurs
The Minnesota Cup
There are a number of funding opportunities in the US and countries to support social entrepreneurs. We know there are many individuals who are driven to set up social enterprises. Let's hope we can convince government and other funding organisations to invest in this sector.
School for Social Entrepreneurs The School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) Australia provides learning programs to enhance the effectiveness of Australia’s social entrepreneurs and their social ventures. Social entrepreneurs are everyday people with ideas or businesses that deliver a social or community benefit.
SSE runs a 9-month program that gives social entrepreneurs the personal and business support they need to grow their venture to be more effective. At the moment the only option for us Taswegians is for us to travel weekly to Melbourne, but let's hope there are other options in the not too distant future.
The SSE approach to social enterprise is one that focuses on social entrepreneurs creating community-engaged, community-shaped organisations. We have found that it is a combination of personal support and development, project knowledge and leadership skills which leads to the creation of robust, responsive, effective and sustainable solutions to unmet needs.
It is also our experience that action learning is the most effective approach for individuals leading social change. (SSE website)

San Francisco - here we come!
I will be winging my way to California in 13 days to become the official blogger for the Social Enterprise World Summit in San Francisco. This forum attracts social and financial entrepreneurs from around the world who are working with some of the most disadvantaged communities.
Stay in touch during this time by going to the blog at www.sea-alliance.blogspot.com or check in on our Branching Out blog.
This is a fantastic opportunity to ask the experts about how the arts and creative industries can become more enterprising and see first hand some of the innovative approaches in the many arts initiatives in the city.
