Creative entrepreneurs completing community engagement workshop
The Indiana Arts Commission announced Wednesday that 31 Hoosier creative entrepreneurs, including Rodney Carlstrom of Hamilton County, will participate in the annual On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator.
On-Ramp is a national award-winning program designed to educate artists and creative professionals in key areas of entrepreneurship and finance and to provide ongoing mentorship and development of arts-based small businesses.
Over the course of three days, May 8 to 10, participants will follow a curriculum designed and led by Elaine Grogan Luttrull of Minerva Financial Arts. The programming will take place in Terre Haute, Ind., with Arts Illiana serving as cohost for On-Ramp. Arts Illiana is also a Regional Arts Partner of the Indiana Arts Commission
“We are so excited to welcome the 2024 cohort of the On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator training course and fellowship,” said Jordan Adams, Artist Services Program Manager with the Indiana Arts Commission. “Each creative selected demonstrates the beauty and strength of Indiana’s creative economy and our agency is proud to play a role in accelerating their artistic careers in the Hoosier State.”
At the conclusion of the three-day training, the entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to submit proposals for a $2,000 fellowship to directly apply course lessons to their creative career and small business development. Proposals will be reviewed by a panel of mentor creative entrepreneurs who will provide feedback based upon their individual and collective expertise.
