For VSA Indiana’s Urban Artisans,
The Art is Not a Thing, It Is a Way.
Flower pots, stepping stones,
garden markers and ice cream
bowls, line the racks of the
adaptive clay studio at VSA
Indiana. These are some of the
ceramic art products created
weekly by nearly 30 Urban
Artisans Interns, ages 16-22, who are gaining vocational
and social skills as they make, market and sell art.
Linda Wisler, Vice President of Programs explains, “The
students don’t create their own art work, but they learn
the teamwork and craftsmanship necessary to create a
product. And, more skills are gained through handling
the administrative duties of running a studio and gallery.
The interns learn product inventory and customer service.
Problem-solving and decision-making become a regular
part of their day.”
VSA Indiana, the 31-year-old nonprofit, started the Urban
Artisans program twelve years ago with the goals of
supporting young adults with disabilities as they make
the transition from school to workplace and helping to
reduce the unemployment numbers among people with
disabilities, which is typically about six times higher than the
rate among those without disabilities. Today, 64% of past
Urban Artisan participants are employed or pursue postsecondary education within 12 months of graduation.
Urban Artisans is a proud partner of the Broad Ripple
Gallery Tour. This year, keep an eye out for the Urban
Artisans’ Pop-Up Shop
featuring beautiful,
handmade flower pots
and mums. Products
are also available yearround at VSA Indiana’s
En Route Gallery.
All proceeds of the
sales support ongoing
programs at VSA
Indiana. To learn more,
