Applications are open for the 2019 On-Ramp accelerator program for early career creative entrepreneurs. On-Ramp provides artists with ways to enhance their business skills including professional coaching for development of business plans or career goals, new connections with potential Indiana supporters, partners or collaborators, and access to special funds to take them to the next level in their career development.
Still wondering if On-Ramp is right for you? Jewelry artist Lisa Walsh, a 2018 On-Ramp participant says:
"On-Ramp provided financial training in a supportive setting that is helping me navigate the confluence of major crossroads in both my artistic work and in my personal life. The diversity of participants contributed a richness and depth to the experience and the bonds between our group have continued over the months. The On-Ramp training was a wonderful experience and and amazing opportunity! It would be beneficial to anyone willing to commit to the work."
Don't wait! The Indiana Arts Commission is accepting applications through January 17, 2019.
