Artful use of networking
A young entrepreneur is giving artists a leg up as her home town looks forward to becoming the European Capital of Culture in 2008.
Lucy Byrne put together Dot-Art to represent Merseyside artists, helping them find markets and sponsorship for their work.
Lucy joined 08 businessconnect, an organisation set up for firms hoping to benefit from the Capital of Culture year, and has now found sponsorship from another member.
Nichola Lee, from 08 businessconnect, told icLiverpool:
"This is 08 businessconnect's first business-to-business success story, and it illustrates just how powerful the network can be in generating new opportunities."
