The Fresh Tastemakers goal is to make Fresh Café a launching pad for creative talent in the community. From graphic design to Youtube musicals, a growing number of industries now offer outlets for aspiring talents to get noticed and, often, to get paid while they’re waiting for their big break. The Fresh Tastemakers would like to be one of these outlets. Tastemakers wants to help promote new up and coming aspiring creative’s show their work and make it easier for talent seekers to find them. The Tastemakers will use the internet, promotions, product, wall space, and the Fresh warehouse to solicit ideas from fans and freelancers hopefully opening another path to landing that career-launching gig.
