Arts Commission Seeks Applications From Artists For Business Training Workshop

(INDIANAPOLIS) The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) is now accepting applications for the On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator Program.

The On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator is a program for artists and creative entrepreneurs seeking training and resources around establishing or supporting an arts-based business in Indiana.

Designed by Elaine Grogan Luttrull of Minerva Financial Arts, the program focuses on ten key business concepts for a successful portfolio career including defining value, business structure, identifying and marketing to customers, pricing strategy, marketing strategy, managing expenses and generating revenue, taxes, and planning.

The On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator is comprised of a three-day in-person intensive entrepreneurship and community engagement workshop and up to $2,000 in fellowship funding to put training into action through a career-advancing community-engaged project. The 2022 On-Ramp workshop will be May 11-13, 2022 in Noblesville, Indiana.

Based upon state and national survey results, On-Ramp alumni were more financially resilient compared to artists across the nation. On-Ramp program participants retained more of their savings during the pandemic and are managing and tracking expenses, identifying new allies and partners, and adjusting their business plans more effectively.

“This is an ideal program for those Indiana artists and creative entrepreneurs who want to acquire business skills to fuel their creative practice in the State of Indiana,” said Paige Sharp, Indiana Arts Commission Deputy Director of Programs.

The deadline to apply to participate is January 6, 2022, at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Eagles use balanced attack, serving game to sweep Cards

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind—Eight different players had at least three kills and none had more than six as University of Southern Indiana Volleyball earned a 25-18, 25-12, 25-17 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over visiting William Jewell College Friday night at Screaming Eagles Arena.

Junior middle hitter Taylor Litteken (Foristell, Missouri) and freshman outside hitter Abby Bednar (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) each had six kills to lead the Screaming Eagles’ attack, while Litteken finished with a .357 attacking percentage in 14 swings.

USI (14-9, 8-4 GLVC) held the Cardinals (7-17, 1-11 GLVC) to just nine kills and a 33 attacks in a back-and-forth opening frame that saw the Eagles use a 5-0 run midway through the set to create separation. The Eagles hit just .119 in the first set, but three service aces and an ability to keep William Jewell from making any sustained runs helped USI pull out the seven-point win for a one-set lead.

The Eagles, who finished with 10 aces on the day, had four more one-timers in the second game. Freshman setter Carly Sobieralski (Indianapolis, Indiana) had three of her match-high four aces in the second set as the Eagles cruised to a 13-point victory.

Both teams picked up their offensive efficiency in the third set, but the Eagles doubled WIlliam Jewell’s eight kills en route to an eight-point match-clinching victory. Litteken and sophomore right side hitter Katherine Koch (Belleville, Illinois) each had four kills on five swings in the third set, while USI held the Cardinals to just 23 total attacks to seal the victory.

Sobieralski added 13 assists and three kills to her four aces, while senior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) finished with three kills and 13 assists in limited action. Senior libero Callie Gubera (Thorntown, Indiana) had nine digs to lead USI’s back row.

USI returns to action Saturday at 3 p.m. when it hosts Drury University for USI Volleyball Alumni Day at Screaming Eagles Arena. The Eagles also will host a poster signing, trick-or-treating and a free boys and girls volleyball clinic for kids in grades 3-5.

The Panthers (16-9, 6-6 GLVC) are coming off a four-set road loss to the University of Illinois Springfield Friday night.

Evansville, In.: It would be almost all-Thunderbolts in this game, as Evansville dominated Vermillion County, winning by a 4-0 score.  The Thunderbolts round out their homestand on Saturday, October 30th at 7:00PM CT as they host the Peoria Rivermen.  For tickets, call (812)422-BOLT (2658), buy online at EvansvilleThunderbolts.com, or buy tickets in person at the Ford Center Box Office.

Bobcats goaltender Chase Perry held the game scoreless through most of the 1st period despite heavy Thunderbolts offensive pressure, before Cameron Cook finally broke the deadlock at 16:29 from Zane and Cooper Jones.  Evansville would strike again early in the second period, as Peter De Coppi would snipe a shot upstairs on Perry, assisted by Cole Stallard at the 1:54 mark.  The most one-sided period was the 3rd period, as the Thunderbolts outshot Vermillion County 25-2.  Stallard would score on the power play at 8:07 from Austin Plevy and Tanner Butler, and then Scott Kirton would score his first professional goal in his first game as a Thunderbolt at 17:00.  Kirton’s goal, also scored on the power play, was assisted by Cooper Jones and Stallard.

Stallard lead the scoring with his goal and two assists.  Cook, De Coppi, and Kirton added a goal each, while Cooper Jones tallied two assists.  Brian Billett stopped all 17 shots faced for his fourth win and first shutout of the season.  The Thunderbolts next face Vermillion County on Friday, November 5th at the David S.

Feliciano posts double-double to open weekend

Aces drop 4-set match against Valpo

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Melanie Feliciano recorded her fifth double-double of the season as the University of Evansville volleyball team opened the weekend with a 3-1 loss to Valparaiso on Friday night inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

 

Feliciano led the Purple Aces (16-5, 6-4 MVC) with 17 kills along with 10 digs.  It marked the 8th match in a row for the junior with 12 or more kills.  Alondra Vazquez had a strong outing with 14 kills while Giulia Cardona checked in with 13.  Taya Haffner recorded a double-double of her own, adding 40 assists and 13 digs, both team highs.  Hannah Watkins picked up two solo blocks and four block assists in the contest.

 

Set 1 – Valpo 25, UE 13

Valparaiso (16-6, 7-4 MVC) had the upper hand in the first set, taking an 8-2 lead to open the match.  Evansville clawed its way back into it when Cecilia Thon picked up a service ace before a Beacon error saw UE cut the deficit to 9-7.  A kill by Giulia Cardona once again cut the lead to a pair (12-10), but a 9-0 run was the difference for Valpo, who took a 21-10 lead before taking the set by a 25-13 final.

 

Set 2 – UE 25, Valpo 9

Evansville opened the set on one of the best runs you will ever see.  The Aces scored the first 11 points before extending the lead to 16-1.  Taya Haffner did the serving in the early part while Alondra Vazquez picked up three kills.  Hannah Watkins and Melanie Feliciano added kills that pushed the lead to 15 points.  The first four Valpo points came on UE service errors before their offense added a kill to make it 19-5.  The Aces took the set by a 25-9 score to tie the match at 1-1.

 

Set 3 – Valpo 25, UE 20

With the first two sets featuring a lopsided win for each team, the third frame was much closer.  Once again, it was Valpo taking the early lead, opening up a 9-5 edge.  The Aces countered with three Vazquez kills in a row to cut the gap to 9-8.  Just a few rallies later, kills by Cardona and Feliciano knotted the score at 13-13.  Unfortunately, the Aces could not get the point they needed to take the lead.  The Beacons slowly took control as a 25-20 decision gave them a 2-1 lead.

 

Set 4 – Valpo 25, UE 22

Another hard-fought set saw both teams take the early advantage before Valpo broke a 10-10 tie with a pair of scores.  The Aces continued to battle, posting three tallies in a row to tie the score at 18-18.  Feliciano added the final two kills in the run.  Following a timeout, the Beacons scored two in a row and would go on to clinch the match with a 25-22 win.

 

On Saturday, the Aces look to begin a new streak when they host Loyola at 4 p.m. inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

USI clinches GLVC Tournament berth

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer had its school-record tying seven-match winning streak snapped by the University of Missouri-St. Louis, 2-1, Friday evening in St. Louis, Missouri. The Screaming Eagles go to 9-5-2 overall and 7-5-1 GLVC, while the Miners are 7-5-3, 6-4-3 GLVC.

USI found itself down early in the first half when UMSL scored 12:33 into the match to take a 1-0 lead. The 1-0 UMSL advantage would stand up through the intermission.

The Eagles would score the equalizer 25 minutes into the second half when sophomore forward Taylor Hall (Grayson, Kentucky) scored at 69:52. Hall evened the score, 1-1, off an assist by sophomore forward Morgan Beyer (Rossford, Ohio) and posted her first goal of the year.

UMSL would rebound to get the game-winner with 22 second left in the match to get the victory.

Despite the loss, the Eagles clinched a spot in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament that is slated to begin November 7. USI could be seeded five, six, or seven depending up on the outcome of the season finale Sunday at Lindenwood University.

Following the GLVC Tournament first round next Sunday, the semifinals and finals are slated for November 12 and 14 at the highest remaining seed after the quarterfinals.

UPCOMING FOR THE EAGLES:
USI concludes the road swing and the 2021 regular season Sunday at noon with a visit to Lindenwood. Lindenwood moved to 4-10-1 overall a 4-8-1 GLVC after falling at home this evening to the University of Indianapolis. The Lions have lost six-straight after tonight’s loss.

The Eagles lead the series with Lindenwood, 2-0-0, after a win last spring in Evansville, 1-0. USI took the first match between the two programs, 1-0, in 2019.
