The Upstate Alliance for the Creative Economy (ACE) invites freelancers and all those interested in the greater Capital Region's Creative Economy to join us for our second Creative Freelancer Networking Night. Take a behind-the-scenes tour of Proctors, meet other creative freelancers and have a fantastic evening.

We hope you can join us for a night of new connections, new resources, and above all... celebration of our region's creative talent!

The Creative Freelancer movement is growing! According to a 2014 study commissioned by the Freelancers Union, more than 53 million Americans do freelance work each year. That's more than one-third of the entire American workforce.

As one of a series of initiatives to organize and measure the impact of the greater Capital Region's Creative Economy, ACE is developing resources and communication channels to strengthen the impact of this important part of our regional workforce.
