Santa Clarita Creative Workforce Incubator Pitchfest!

Heroes of Color and College of the Canyons are proud to present the upcoming Santa Clarita Creative Workforce Pitch fest, the culmination of a 10-week Creative Workforce Incubator designed and facilitated by Heroes of Color, to help emerging creatives build more sustainable careers in the arts and creative industries.

Sponsored in part by the City of Santa Clarita, the incubator brings together 12 all-female creatives from diverse disciplines, including animation, filmmaking, costume design, writing, music, and social media content creation. Throughout the program, students participated in hands-on discussions and real-world exercises focused on branding, pitching, networking, entrepreneurship, and creative career development.

The Pitch fest will feature the students presenting their creative businesses and services live before guest judges, including the previous Mayor of Santa Clarita, while networking with local businesses, community members, and industry professionals.
​
The initiative reflects a growing effort to cultivate and retain creative talent within Santa Clarita by connecting students to workforce opportunities, professional development, and community visibility through the arts.
