Your generosity allows studios to remain open for students, keeps our exhibitions accessible and free to all, and maintains ARTSPARK as a safe and beautiful place for our community to experience art and nature. Thank you for all you do for the Art Center.
The Art Center provides on- and off-site art education, exposure to contemporary artists, and access to events aimed at building community through creativity. We offer more than 900 classes each year for anyone with a desire to connect in a creatively and socially engaged space.
Our nationally recognized exhibitions, which are free and open to the public, provide an opportunity for the community to interact with works from local, regional, and national artists.
Through outreach and community programs, our teaching artists bring high-quality art education to 25 after-school programs for youth, as well as 3 senior-serving organizations. Additional outreach programming is offered through the Teen Art Council, the SMART mentoring program with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana, and Starfish Initiative, the ArtBus public art program, the ArtTroop year-long course for our creative veterans, and other art-based projects that address current social issues in our community.
Through these program offerings, approximately 2,500 students are served annually through on-site education classes, and nearly 1,300 are served beyond our walls through outreach programming.
