Indianapolis Art Center

Indianapolis Art Center strengthens the community through art. It provides over 300 camps and classes annually, six contemporary art exhibitions in its six galleries, and a community outreach initiative that aims to bring art to those who are underserved. In 1990, the company started in garages as art studios with stoves and "potbelly" stoves to “prevent models having goosebumps" (William Kaeser). People remember Floyd Hopper, who was part of the faculty for many years. Floyd and Kaeser were both WPA (Work Progress Administration) artists who had a significant influence on the formation and growth of the Art Students League. Otto Stark, Elmer Taflinger. Steele and other artists’ influence is documented in the Indianapolis Art League, which was run by artists for 26 years and used community spaces for exhibition and workspace. The Indianapolis Art Center is a prominent cultural landmark, and also part of the city's cultural identity. The Indy Art Center collaborates with local artists, cultural organisations, and community groups to create a vibrant central Indiana arts community.
