PERSONAL STATEMENT
by Marlene Mickelson
​
I am an entrepreneur putting on my artist hat and using my creative energies to establish an Artisan Gallery in Peru, IN.
​
Building on skills acquired through family, church and career activities I teach and provide community, business and individual development.
​
With a base in counseling, program development, public speaking, event planning and presentations, the flow of positive interactions and learning abounds.
​
Every day is an adventure!
ABOUT US
We are a non-profit Artisan Gallery located in the heart of beautiful Downtown Peru, Indiana. Created by our Curator, Marlene Mickelson and founded in 2017, we sought to bring art education and appreciation to the forefront of our community. We lead with diversity, inclusion, equity, & accessibility for all our visitors and by offering opportunities to all the underserved, we hope to continue blossoming our art matrix for Miami County.
