“Made In/Grown In West Virginia”

A special Made In/Grown In West Virginia  "MEETING OF MINDS" took place on 8 April 2009. (Pre-Event Details HERE ) A report on this meeting will be posted as soon as it is received. Be sure to check back here on this page later!

THIS WAS THE CALL ISSUED BEFORE THE MEETING:

Greetings Artist, Craftsperson, Grower or Producer,

WE WANT YOU to know of an exciting opportunity to work with us …

As part of our Cultural Heritage Tourism Development program, Preservation Alliance of West Virginia has sponsored the pilot program: “Made in/Grown in West Virginia. This program simply seeks to match area artists, craftspersons and producers with original quality products like yours, to a variety of retail opportunities.

We envision artists and producers working cooperatively with B&B’s, gift shops, visitor centers, etc. Upon completion of the project, it is hoped that the buyers will continue ordering Made In/Grown In West Virginia products directly from you.

There is no cost to participate in the Made In/Grown In West Virginia project. This Cultural Heritage Tourism Development program is supported by a grant from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation.
