About Us

The Olio is a 501c3 non-profit social enterprise that uses the arts as a learning tool for entrepreneurship, professional development, and community building.

The Olio’s mission is to foster appreciation, inspire learning, and enhance enjoyment in the community, and for the arts.

The arts – painting, architecture, sculpture, literature, music, performing, and cinema – are all vehicles and tools for learning critical life and entrepreneurial skills, and we focus on making that connection in our learning and teaching model. Why? Primarily because it is an accessible, enjoyable, and easy way for many people to learn.

Our services include program development, consultation, and arts-based apprenticeships for young or still-learning entrepreneurs.
