After graduating from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø with a BS in Fine Arts in 1964, Molly Haley began her career as an art teacher in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Five years later, she was asked to teach a screen printing class at a local arts center. This changed the course of her career, and in 1970 Molly co-founded Marblehead Handprints, a textile design business. She quickly developed expertise in all aspects of design, printing, product development, manufacturing, wholesale, and retail. Marblehead Handprints grew nationwide with multiple retail stores until it closed in 1994 after 25 successful years in business. Following Marblehead Handprints, Molly became the Director of Counseling and Special Programs at the American Women's Economic Development Corporation in Washington, D.C. Drawing on her experience operating a successful business, she developed training courses in entrepreneurship. Molly realized this training would work well for ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students who want to start a business doing what they love. In 2013, Molly founded the Entrepreneurial Artist Initiative with the Arts Administration Program. Since then, the Entrepreneurial Artist Initiative has provided over 500 ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students and alumni with professional development, business acumen, and resources, to turn their creative passions into successful careers. The Entrepreneurial Artist Initiative is endowed and supported by Molly Haley ’64, and her husband Ed Freitag.
