Managed by the Arts Council of Indianapolis By bringing art outside the traditional context of museums and galleries, Public Art Indianapolis benefits the community and its visitors by increasing access to art, extending our cultural institutions’ reach beyond their campuses, and providing artists with opportunities to expand their artistic practice and market. The program has a commitment to work with both emerging and established artists, galleries, and museums to produce high quality, innovative, and creative art projects and exhibitions in public spaces in Indianapolis. Projects include the Public Art Locator, Picture Windows, Great Ideas Competition, and major outdoor exhibitions. For more information visit

| Be Indypendent |
|
|
|
Managed by the Arts Council of Indianapolis Launched on Independence Day 2007, the Be Indypendent movement supports all things unique to Indianapolis. The movement began with a campaign to “buy local art” and increase awareness of Indy’s visual artists but has since broadened to include independent businesses. Be Indypendent provides tools and resources to individuals and businesses on how to buy local art and partners with design professionals encouraging them to incorporate local art into their projects. From restaurants and galleries to boutiques and farmers markets, Be Indypendent encourages Indy’s residents and visitors to buy local! For more information visit

The program has focused on areas including marketing, way-finding, and real estate development. For more information visit www.discoverculturaldistricts.com. Click Below for Stakeholder Information |
