There will be over 90 artists and food artisans from 41 Indiana Counties represented.  In addition, there will be 70 artisans from Kentucky since our Hoosier event is launching off of their example.

Sample sea salt pecan chews, chile-spiced fudge, wearable art, water colors and more.

There will be local musicians entertaining in a variety of styles such as Jazz, Bluegrass, Caribbean, Ragtime and Celtic.

The Indiana Artisan was established in 2008 to support the business development of Hoosier entrepreneurs who creat arts, crafts and value-added foods. It started as a joint venture between the Office of Tourism and the Department of Agriculture.  It is now a private, not-for-profit organization.
