We’re so proud to have our artwork featured along the Indy Cultural Trail! 🎨✨ Even more exciting is supporting the three things at the heart of the READ! 2.0 Arts & Culture Initiative: art, education, and community. We’re thrilled to be part of it! ❤️
Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene & Marilyn Glick
Congratulations to the organizations across Indiana receiving READI 2.0 Arts & Culture awards, which were awarded by the State of Indiana and supported by Lilly Endowment Inc.
This is a major investment in Indiana’s creative economy and in the places that help communities feel vibrant, connected and worth calling home.
And a special congratulations to some of our friends, fundholders, partners, and colleagues across Central Indiana whose work was funded, including Indy Arts Council, Athenaeum Indy, Big Car Collaborative, Blue River Community Foundation, The Cabaret, The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, Department of Art, HIFI, Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene & Marilyn Glick, Kheprw Institute, Kids Dance Outreach, and Latinas Welding Guild.
These projects will support public art, cultural venues, creative workforce development, youth arts education, neighborhood gathering spaces and the kind of everyday experiences that shape quality of place.
At CICF, we believe philanthropy and placemaking are deeply connected. When communities invest in arts and culture, they are investing in the stories, spaces and shared experiences that help people belong.
We’re excited to see these projects come to life across Central Indiana.
