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, participants will follow a curriculum designed and led by Elaine Grogan Luttrull of Minerva Financial Arts. The programming will take place in Columbus, Ind., with Columbus Area Arts Council serving as cohost for On-Ramp. Columbus Area Arts Council is also a Regional Arts Partner of the Indiana Arts Commission.
“We are excited to offer another round of On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator training in support of Indiana's economic sector in the arts," said Indiana Arts Commission Executive Director Miah Michaelsen. “This year's cohort is an impressive one, that shows the depths of the creative economy of the Hoosier State. The Arts Commission is proud to play a role in accelerating their artistic careers in Indiana."
Participating local creative entrepreneurs include Jen Zartman Romano, Whitley County; and Don Swartzentruber, Kosciusko.
At the conclusion of the three-day training, the entrepreneurs will 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.
