When Updating My Profile on LinkedIn…

…I added a new “company“, Adrienne Fritze – Art & Creative Services

It’s part of sprucing up my resume as I go out to look for new projects as a consultant or a new position in a company that aligns with my skills and interests in the arts, advocacy work or small business development. (Yes, I am looking for work or a short-term position! One where my contribution makes a positive difference in people’s lives. Know of a gig that may fit me, or interested in having me join you? eMail me!)

The company description is perhaps the most honest narration of what I do as a professional in a position that brings me such great joy, and great inspiration that emanates from the people I am honored to serve – my clients who are artists in their chosen industries.

Why I write “industries” rather than “artistic genres” is that some of my clients and co-entrepreneurs work in fields that traditionally fall outside the usual descriptions attributed to artists. Folks like Kevin Crawford who owns a community gathering place that presents itself as a coffeehouse and roaster (Urban Grind Coffeehouse and Roaster), or my brother David Fritze who is an inventor and service vendor in the world of scientific instrumentation (Horizon Instrument Group).

And, of course, I work with individual artists, arts groups and organizations – some for-profit others non-profits.

It is they who bring me back to my true self – extraordinary companions who remind me of the gifts I have to offer – they who know me far better than I know myself.

With that, I offer you Adrienne Fritze – Art & Creative Services

Program/Product Development, Entrepreneur’s Coach

As a collage/assemblage artist and non-fiction writer, I am inspired by the world and the things in it – fascinated by the interconnected nature of existence and life – captivated by the process of creation and destruction leading back to creation.

Business is another aspect of my artistic expression of which I have never tired – whether it is my own pursuits, or supporting the pursuits of others. I see in business similar patterns as in art-making – fueled by a like inspiration to produce a desired outcome – having equally as profound an impact on the individual engaged in the making as well as on the recipient of the final product.

This connection to art and business has lead me to develop and refine my skills in key areas:

Advocacy, on behalf of the Arts and Creative communities and Small Business, locally, regionally and internationally;
Product Development, in spotting opportunity and creating a product or service that powerfully responds to specific needs.
Entrepreneurship Coaching, providing resources and mentoring passionate people who are inspired to contribute to their communities through their creative endeavors.

If you are:

Up to something inspiring (the kind of inspiring that brings you to tears);
Into creating profound experiences for your clients/audience/customers and your self; and
Want a strong, connected and loving coach along the way, let’s chat.

I’m very much looking forward to learning about you… Call me: 503.349.6075 or Write: a@adriennefritze.com
