Editor's note: This is one in our series of interviews with Indianapolis small business owners navigating the pandemic business environment.

For this interview, WFYI Arts and Culture reporter Jill Ditmire talked via zoom with Manager of Indiana Artisan Rosalyn Demaree about how she and those she works with are maintaining with socially distanced events, demonstrations of how they make their art and other pandemic-aware opportunities to interact with artists. 

Many are changing their approaches to their creative industries on top of working other jobs and helping their children navigate virtual learning. Demaree says it's a struggle, but she is positive.
