The Georgia Made Georgia Grown Database is LIVE!

In September of 2007 the Georgia Creative Economies Program, launched by the Georgia Department of Economic Development's Tourism Foundation, began an ambitious project to unify and market arts-based businesses in Georgia called the Georgia Made Georgia Grown Initiative. Georgia Made Georgia Grown is a forum to network and raise awareness of the State’s artscentric business people – artists, craft makers, authors, entertainers, those who make food products - operating on a grassroots, cottage industry basis. Consisting of both traditional and innovative creations made in Georgia, by Georgia residents, these products are designed to bring quality, ecology, and local flavor back into the marketplace. A primary goal of the program is to demonstrate to Georgians and visitors to the State where to buy Georgia Made and serve Georgia Grown. After months of research and planning, the much anticipated database has gone live! It is easy to use and is an excellent resource to market an arts-centric business, shop for unique corporate gift items, bring locally produced goods into a gift shop, hire an original entertainer for an event, commission a portrait honoring a mentor, host a reception highlighted by Georgia made delicacies, or find an event for a special group.
