PLYMOUTH — It is our pleasure to share details about an upcoming education opportunity for local arts entrepreneurs: The Marshall County Artrepreneurship Program.


MCAP is an eight-week educational program for local artists who wish to establish their own businesses and generate revenue from their work. As a collaboration between Marshall County Economic Development Center, Heartland Art Center, and the North Central Indiana Small Business Development Center, this cohort-based initiative will include workshops, peer groups, and an exhibition to showcase the work of program participants.
