We are excited to shout out our friends at Creative Exchange who have received a grant from the Backing Small Businesses program presented by American Express, in partnership with Main Street America. These grants provide financial support to small business owners to address critical needs and make a positive impact in their local communities.

Grants of $5,000 have been awarded to 350 small business owners, and we are so excited to be one of them!

For Creative Exchange, this grant will provide us increased visibility and reach in the region, through expanded signage and marketing campaigns, helping to make North Louisiana a thriving, more beautiful creative community!
