Help American Artists Grow

Shop American Handcrafted works with organizations that want to strengthen the businesses and creative careers of American artists. Together, we can help artists access practical education, professional resources, greater visibility, and meaningful opportunities.

Every partnership begins with a conversation. We listen to the needs of your organization and the artists you serve, then explore a program that is thoughtful, useful, and aligned with our nonprofit mission.

Start a Conversation

Who We Partner With

We welcome conversations with arts councils, foundations, nonprofit organizations, economic-development groups, museums, cultural organizations, artist associations, and other organizations committed to helping artists succeed.

What a Partnership Can Make Possible

01

Education and Professional Development

Give artists access to practical business education covering wholesale readiness, pricing, marketing, presentation, buyer relationships, and sustainable growth.

02

Visibility and Market Access

Help artists prepare for and connect with meaningful opportunities, including increased visibility, professional market exposure, and relationships with qualified retail buyers.

03

Sponsored Artist Participation

Organizations may help remove financial barriers by sponsoring eligible artists as part of a thoughtfully designed cohort, educational program, or professional opportunity.

How We Work Together

We listen.
We begin by learning about your organization, the artists you serve, and the challenges or opportunities you want to address.

We design the opportunity.
Together, we identify the most useful combination of education, resources, visibility, sponsored participation, and professional support.

We establish a clear plan.
We define eligibility, responsibilities, expectations, timing, and how progress will be communicated throughout the partnership.

Built Around the Artists You Serve

There is no single program that fits every community. A statewide arts council may have different needs from a regional foundation, museum, or local artist organization.

Our goal is to develop partnerships that provide artists with support they can genuinely use—not simply exposure without preparation or opportunity without guidance.

Our Relationship With IndieMe

Shop American Handcrafted is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. When appropriate for a defined program, IndieMe Marketplace and IndieMe Academy may provide educational, wholesale-readiness, or marketplace resources that help advance the nonprofit’s mission.

Partnership goals, services, responsibilities, and funding are clearly defined so organizations understand how their support will benefit participating artists.

Let’s Explore What We Can Make Possible

If your organization is interested in helping American artists develop stronger, more sustainable businesses, we would be glad to begin a conversation.

Contact Jacqueline Adamany, Executive Director, to tell us about your organization and the artists you serve.
