Indiana Artisan is an economic development organization accomplishing two things. It identifies, recognizes and promotes Indiana\u2019s high-quality art, fine craft and foods and the Artisans who make them, with the goal of helping each Artisan expand his\/her business and business skills.<\/p>

At the same time, Indiana Artisan is building a brand that identifies Indiana by its high-quality art, fine craft and foods, defining that brand by the work of the state\u2019s highest-quality Artisans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Two important things to note:<\/strong><\/p>

    1. Candles and soaps\/bath\/body products fall outside Indiana Artisan\u2019s definition of art and are not considered for adjudication.<\/li>
    2. Work must<\/em> be able to be sold at retail, so commissioned and made-to-order work also are not considered for adjudication.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Do you accept artwork assembled with repurposed items?
      <\/strong>Assemblage of commercially produced items is generally not considered to be handcrafted work and is discouraged; however, strong overall design, interpretation, and originality can affect the decision of the jury panel.<\/p>

      I make several things, and I wonder if it makes sense to include everything in one application.
      <\/strong>Work employing techniques, styles or materials that vary greatly should not be submitted as one application. Feel free to submit two different applications to allow yourself the opportunity to explain different processes, materials, wholesale\/retail prices, etc. For example, turned wood vessels and wood jewelry would be two separate applications because the panel is interested in the process to make the work, the material involved, the pricing, sizes, etc., and answers would be too different to include wood vessels and wood jewelry in one application.<\/p>

      The same would be true for watercolor paintings and notecards using those paintings as cover art. There is a lot of overlap, but the material, time involved, prices, and descriptions are too different to adequately explain each in one application.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      How many applications can I submit?
      <\/strong>There is no limit to the number of applications an applicant can submit; however, applicants should consider submitting no more than two. Why?<\/p>
