'We want to support our artists and creatives as they are coming out of the pandemic help them restart their creative practice and reconnect with the community,' said Julie Goodman, president & CEO of The Indy Arts Council.
INDIANAPOLIS — Artwork created by local artists is now displayed inside the window frames of a building at the corner of East 10th and Tuxedo streets.It's all part of the Indy Keeps Creating Initiative, an effort that started in 2021 when the entire NCAA tournament was held in Indianapolis.
Goodman says the effort was so impactful, the City-County Council approved an allocation of $500,000 from the American Rescue Plan for another round of engagement. In total, more than 75 storefronts and counting around the city are filled with artwork. The second round is focused on neighborhoods outside of downtown.
Rao says the initiative is not only important for artists, who need income; it also helps beautify the community and expose even more Hoosiers to art.
