The Indy Arts Council has championed artists and arts organizations since 1987, and the need has never been greater. Being considered for the gustohq #gustoimpactawards is an opportunity to deepen our impact. This award would strengthen our programs that support hundreds of artists and arts nonprofits each year. It would help expand community partnerships that bring creative experiences into parks, libraries, schools, and neighborhoods. It would also reinforce our advocacy work as we push to restore public arts funding and ensure that local creatives have the resources they need. We are grateful for the recognition and the chance to advance a creative life for all.
