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 excellent tools for learning critical life and entrepreneurial skills. We focus on making this connection in our teaching model because it is one of the most effective and impactful ways to teach a diverse group of individuals.

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

“The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.”

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
