CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Tamarack Artisan Foundation changed its name Friday to the Tamarack Foundation for the Arts, in effort to change the structure and approach to its programs and services.
The 13-year-old Charleston non-profit organizations mission is ” to build the creative economy of West Virginia.”
According to a release, the foundation now advocates for a “three-prong approach” to driving increased revenue from the creative economic sector: providing incentive to attract creative enterprise to West Virginia, connecting consumers across markets to West Virginia-owned creative businesses, and ensuring artist entrepreneurs have the skills to succeed.
The foundation has also launched a new website, www.tamarackfoundation.org.
