Faces of the New Economy
Faces of the New Economy is a joint project of Molly Crealock and Green Enterprise Toronto (GET).
Faces of the New Economy presents people determined to lead the way to a locally responsible, ecologically sustainable and socially just marketplace. These are entrepreneurs in the Greater Toronto Area who represent a diversity of businesses, backgrounds and personalities, each with a unique and inspiring story to tell. Originality, independence and integrity are the key attributes that the subjects have in common. They exemplify the local living economy, because their work is an expression of their local, green, fair values. Each of their enterprises are one-of-a-kind, independent companies that enrich the communities they are part of.
From 2007 to 2009 Molly Crealock worked closely with GET Network Director Chris Lowry researching progressive entrepreneurs and companies in Toronto. Portraits of the twenty final subjects formed a traveling exhibit which made its way to six venues across Toronto in 2009 and is now on semi-permanent display at the Centre for Social Innovation.
