CARMEL – The state’s highest-quality artists and food producers are encouraged to apply by June 2 to have their work designated Indiana Artisan, meaning it is among the best in the state.

The 2026 juries will convene in July to determine which art and value-added foods will become part of the organization that operates stores in the French Lick Resort and Carmel Arts & Design District, publishes an annual catalog showcasing members’ work, provides networking and business-development education for its members, among other benefits.

Optional Q&A sessions about the application process will be held on Zoom. Applications are due at noon June 2. The application, timeline, guidelines and a listing of benefits can be found under the Artisan tab at www.IndianaArtisan.org. Submit questions to [email protected].
