We are also helping craft and food artisans, more than 40 percent of whom live in small communities,
build their businesses.
My hometown does not have a thriving arts community but through Indiana Artisan
programs, I've been able to sell my work and build my reputation around the state," basket
maker Roland Rein of Friendship, Indiana, told us_ '?here are no local customers in our rural
area. The Indiana Artisan store provides opportunities to attract customers who would newer be
exposed to our work."
We are excited about the future, particularly with condo owners, office workers and apartment dwellers
coming to the neighborhood to live and work in the First On Main development across the street from
our store. However, it will continue to be a challenge in 2023 to draw shoppers from Main Street to our
doors due to the construction and recent road closure.
We are requesting $45,000 for 2023. We would split this evenly between marketing and administrative
support.
THE INDIANA AR-nsAN MAR16E11I46 PLAN (U2,5WJ
Indiana Artisan kelps artists develop business practices designed to expand their enterprise and crate a
positive economic impact in their communities. As an organization, Indiana Artisan also wants to have a
positive impact on its home community.
To that end, we send out a monthly newsletter to nearly 5,000 customers as well as another email to
about 280 Friends of Indiana Artisan. We:graw our email list by offering a monthly door prize with food
or art we purchase from our own members. N4turally, the content promotes store events that largely
are held in conjunction with Arts District events, but it also markets city -sponsored programs and
highlights attractions in neighboring galleries, other stores and restaurants. ( T. r.: to see the
October edition.) These newsletters typically have a 35-38 percent open rate, but it is often hard to
determine the return on investment from these e-mailings.
One couple that visited on Shop Small Saturday shared their experience. They were from
Cincinnati and had visited Indiana Artisan in mid -September for the first time. They were glad to
receive the newsletter about all the things going on in Carmel for Shop Small Saturday and the
holidays_ While lri town, they also enjoyed dirkner at lartiper on Mai€,. watchedfootbA over
drinks .at MuRiban's and -hopped -m the trolley to vis;t Midtown andcity Center. When they #0€t
our store, (with more than $500 in purchases) they said they would be back.
We plan to continue these newsletters in 2023 and will use the Carmel Arts Grant fund to pay the
monthly Mailchimp subscription fee.
A highlight of 2022 was hosting the student art scholarship competition during the Carmel International
Arts Festival and awarding two $5,00 scholarships. We want to repeat that initiative in 2023. It was
inspiring to see 90-plus pieces created by Carmel and University High School students in the gallery, and
it was encouraging to experience the reactions of almost 3,000 people who visited the store that
weekend — the biggest two-day foot traffic we've ever recorded -- to enjoy the work. About one-third of
the guests voted for the People's Choice award, which determined the two students who won the
awards. We would use funding from this grant to continue to provide this scholarship.

Another integral part of Indiana Artisan is partnerships. We forged speciat ones in 2022 with the Carmel
Associate Chapter of Tri Kappa, the Carmel Creative Writers group and the Carmel Clay Historical
Society. With these three groups we hosted events exclusive to their members in the store that let them
engage -with artists. We used marketing, funds from the Carmel Arts Grant. to provide drinks as well as
Artisan -made food and door prizes at each .event The Carmel Clay Historical Society produced its own
program which explained the histary of our building through pictures, research and memories of people
who worked in the building while it was a drug store. One of the stories was about how the thing to do
in Carmel on Sundays in the 1960s was to have a banana split at the drug store. The story piqued our
interest. We have since talked to the historical society about hosting a public program in the garden
new to our building, wbem banana sus wit be ser<ie d as afandraiser for new n-useum. marketing funds
from a city grant would help us cover expenses for the summer afternoon event. Indiana
Artisan benefits greatly from the many events and festivals the Arts District sponsors, and it pledges
to continue to support and promote each one_ Through our own, work and the networks of nearly
220 members, we have strong contacts among media outlets stretching from Lake Michigan to the
Ohio River that we will marshal for earned media to attract more Hoosiers to outstanding events, such
as the international Am festival, the Artof Wine, ArtonvWha and holiday programs. We would use marketing
funds from this grant to buy advertising, much like we did this year on several radio stations and
in print media. This is
an ambitious marketing program for a small nonprofit. We believe it would bring benefit to all the Arts Distract
busia ses-w i- the City of Cartel..tt is rya program- ttiat in#iam Artisan couldundertake without grant funding.
ADMiNffMTiVE SUPPORY ($22,
5Im) Indiana Artisan Gifts &
Gallery sells work car, consi mNit; giving 60 percent of sales, an increasingly generous -split in
the re.tail_art-field, to the artisans.. Our business model is to employ member artists to work in the
store for minimum wage and receive 75 percent of their first $300 in sales each month. The director covers shifts
when artists cannot, and she manages the store daily. This model has
worked well, largely due to the administrative support funding we received through the Carmel Arts -
Grant for four years. Thera are no }Mans to change it in 2023. But continued grant funding is critical
to the success of the plan and the store. While 2022 sales have been strong in the Carmel store, 40
percent of sales at Indiana Artisan Gifts & Gallery will not cover payroll, rent, utilities, supplies and materials.
The Arts District
community tells us the Indiana Artisan store is a strongpartner in its ongoing success. As an organization; we
hope to work with -the City, of Carmel again, so Indiana Artisan Gifts & Gallery can continue to create an
appreciative market for the artists, build awareness of the exceptional work made in Indiana, and offer
another shopping venue for out-of-state and international visitors when tourism rebounds. Indiana. Artisan looks
forward
in the new year to further strengthening its relationship with the City of Carmel. I would be
happy to answer any questions you have about our proposal or our organization: Rosalyn Demaree 317) 964-

Indiana Artisan Year -End Report
For 2022 Carmel Arts Grant
DocuSign Envelope ID: E35D61E6-7B79-45EC-933E-FA86BEAE9A57
The 2022 Carmel Arts Grant had a substantial impact on Indiana Artisan's year. The board, staff and
nearly 220 artist members believe our organization's influence on artists and arts communities was
strong, fueled largely by the city's funding.
The Indiana Artisan retail locations have been a significant contributor to my success since
earning the designation," said Carrie Wright (fiber artist out of Muncie). "All
handmade/handcrafted work is more appealing and easier to sell when it can be seen in person.
Although I have a moderately successful- e-commerce website, sales from the stores are more
consistent month to month thanks to the foot traffic."
Indiana Artisan used the grant prudently to help artists like Carrie and food artisans, budgeting half for
marketing and the other half for salaries to operate the store.
MARKIMMIS Dou ARs iwvnTED E"Ecrrva P
A primary part of Indiana Artisan's mission is to help artists develop markets for their work. One of the
original food artists told us in the early years of Indiana Artisan, "The word free is not in our business
plans," so we repeatedly look for ways we can buy members' work when we need giveaways or prizes.
Marketing money in the grantafforded us the-opportfm to boy about $2,500 of work which we the
gave as monthly door prizes, customer appreciation gifts and donations to Carmel -based events and
organizations. Indiana Artisan sees these giveaways as a win -win -win: the artists' work gains visibility,
the artist gets a sale and the organization establishes partnerships in the greater community as well as
the Arts District.
Another way artists get exposure from the store is through media. This year, artisans selling work were
featured seven times on Indy TV shows, in the Current in Carmel and a mention in Forbes online travel
section.
In addition to purchasing artists' work for giveaways, Indiana Artisan also bought work for donation to
local civic groups, including marshmallow bonbms forthe Strop Smalt swag bags and a 3-piece hers
d'oeuvre set to the Holiday Preview gift basket.
Marketing funds from the grant allowed us to buy advertising in traditional and new media. Indiana
Artisan bought ads promoting the store, as well as the Arts District.

Indiana Artisan believes in -the need -to -create arts districts across the state and values that ourstore is in
the premier one. We take our commitment to be a strong corporate neighbor seriously, which is why
anything we do for the store, we also consider what we can do for the District. We have partnered with
other businesses, offering discounts to their Customers and orchestrated special events such -as a recent
Holiday Preview night (six .other stores or galleries participated) and Taste Indiana Artisan (a food -
sampling event) to encourage peopl6 to visit the Dittriet.
Carmel store marketing expenses funded through the city's grant totaled $12,568.70 through the end of
October. Current advertising campaigns running on WFYI, in Current in Carmel and on the Hamilton
county wensite, as well as a planned Customer Appreciation Tree December 17-24 that will use the
remaining $5,231.70 budgeted in our proposal for the grant.
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FUNDING SPENT WISELY
Indiana Artisan kept payroll costs to a minimum in 2022 by hiring artists to work in the store for
minimum wage and receive 75 percent of their first $300 in sales each month. Using artists, who felt a
persortalinvestment in the stare, net: only Wped Indiana Artisan keep costs drawn, but it was,also. an
interest -generator for customers to meet the artists and learn more about their work. This was made
possible because of the Carmel Arts Grant.
In addition to sundry other duties, the Indiana Artisan director managed the store, worked to stock it,
brought new artists on board, maintained the inventory records and completed the bookkeeping. While
we estimate two-thirds of her time was spent doing this work, the $17,800 we budgeted from the arts
grant paid for a little less than one-third of her $50,000 salary.
