Investing in Creativity: Meet the Creative Entrepreneurs Who are Shaping Wheeling’s Future

In 2023, Emily Rouse was accepted into the Alliance for Creative Rural Economies (ACRE) alongside a group of business owners in Wheeling, West Virginia. The program, launched by Bridgeway Capital, served as a year-long education in how to strengthen the foundations of each business through specific workshops and one-on-one coaching with industry experts in marketing, finance, legal, human resources, and more. With many improvements made, Rouse is excited for the growth ahead for Edgington Studio. Click the button below to read more about ACRE and the participating entrepreneurs.
