Curve Conversations – Traditional Arts Today

Crafting Community: Inside Traditional Arts Today

Join us as we sit down with Alexianna Mundy, Chief Operations Officer of Traditional Arts Today, a vibrant nonprofit nestled in a historic 1800s building in Ferdinand, Indiana. On this episode of Curve Conversations, Alexianna shares how this 8-year-old organization connects people through traditional and contemporary arts—from weaving and ceramics to photography and tie-dye.

Discover how Traditional Arts Today supports over 40 local and regional artists, offers classes for all ages (1 to 99!), and is transforming their space to become a community gathering hub. Alexianna discusses their inclusive approach to arts education, their work with senior facilities, and upcoming events, including their “Yart” Sale (art yard sale fundraiser).

Whether you’re an artist looking for community, interested in local nonprofits, or simply curious about the evolving world of traditional crafts, this episode offers insight into how one small organization is preserving artistic traditions while embracing new forms in rural Southern Indiana.
