Peer-Run Business Columbia Graphics and Printing - Posted 8.1.
Columbia (VA) Graphics and Printing seeks to tap into the creativity of peers by empowering them with laptops, software, and education in order to employ them as graphic artists. They will learn the tools of graphic art so they can create in the community and feed print work to Columbia Graphics and Printing. Ideally, there will be about 40 peers all over Virginia creating print ready graphics. Each peer would either sell their work or be partnered with a sales associate (also a peer), in their region. There is no need for transportation because laptops and software will be provided.
