Community Builder is an idea we came up with after school. We call it SmartDaCart. We want to help at-risk areas utilize resources to allow opportunity. We thought if we created a pathway for entrepreneurs, it could provide a well needed program for assistance. Ergo, we are following the California position for disadvantaged areas, which are spearheading an equitable effort to reach out and decriminalize street vendors. As an update, we called the city and voiced our concern that the proposed current ordinance before the town council is an illogical and biased legislation. It has no support for its conclusion regarding tourism. There is simply no data either way. Leave the air quotes for our website and not the government. Embrace this vendor legislation as positive and not as a burden.  

Our mission is to provide a high-quality program for urban entrepreneurs wishing to serve the business needs in underserved communities to improve their economic development.

Smart DaCart is our idea of making the world a better place through Art & Reason. It is our pathway for a Community Builder. The question posed is one of “what can I do” with just figuring things out for our future. Though if you merge those two elements, “future” and “what if,” you can embrace a realistic, real-world challenge. What’s in our means or what do we know? ART. And selling that art and apparel to others is what we can do. We apply that concept to helping others through knowledge and funding. “I think art, therefore I am” is our guiding principle "Cogito Artem Ergo Sum." We're using Art & Reason to make the world a better place.

Art has a Reason...
