The Indiana Artisan program is designed to help artisans and communities. Funding for communities is now available through a new grant program. The Indiana Artisan Trail Development Grant is a competitive program designed to aid local/regional efforts to develop artisan-related, tourism-focused thematic trails.
The Indiana Artisan Trail Development Grant is one component of the Indiana Artisan program. Indiana Artisan supports Hoosier entrepreneurs who produce fine art, crafts and value-added foods and agricultural products (salsa, wine, jams, spices, soaps, lotions, etc). The project strives to grow the economy, especially in rural Indiana, through increased artisan activity and capacity and through related tourism development. In addition to augmenting existing artisan activity ongoing throughout the state and encouraging new or enhanced artisan development with this grant program, the Indiana Artisan program will establish a widely recognized brand promoting high-quality products, establish or provide better access to entrepreneurial support and find ways for artisans to more easily reach the marketplace.
Indiana Artisan is a venture of the Indiana Office of Tourism Development, the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the Indiana Arts Commission and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.
