Indiana Artisan has announced that it will open a new store on May 1, just in time for Mother’s Day. The store will be located at 20 Range Line Road, only a few short steps north of Main Street in the Carmel Arts & Design District.
It will bring back all the functional and decorative art, small-batch foods, and special events that you enjoyed when Indiana Artisan was next to Joe’s Butcher Shop.
Indiana Artisan is so looking forward to welcoming everyone to the new store that it will offer a Welcome Back gift to all former customers that visit in the first month.
The new space, which is currently the home of the Hoosier Salon, is in a meticulously restored building that is believed to have been built in the Roaring ‘20s. It will give the business more room to grow the amount of exceptional work made in Indiana. A gallery within the store will feature a different solo artist each month. You’ll be able to meet each one during Meet Me On Main, the second Saturday gallery walks. Indiana Artisans will be invited to hold classes and special presentations in the store.
Indiana Artisan will continue to take part in the wide range of special events in the Arts District. In addition to meeting the artists who have solo exhibits in gallery, we’ll bring back one of customers’ favorite programs during the gallery walks – artist demonstrations. On May 11, potter Steven Skinner from New Carlisle will be doing slabwork in the store.
In the near future, Indiana Artisan will offer space in the store for nonprofits and community groups to hold small meetings or their own classes.
The store will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday; 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, with Monday hours by chance or appointment.
