Quick Facts:
Arts Day will take place on Monday, February 25 from
10 a.m.-12 p.m. in the Rotunda of the State House.
The event had to be rescheduled from February 28
because the legislature will not be in session that
day.
The Indiana Coalition for the Arts was born
in 2006 as two long-time arts service organizations
came together: Arts Alliance Indiana and
Indiana Advocates for the Arts. Together, the
new Arts Coalition (INCA) combines resources with
the Indiana Coalition for the Arts Foundation (INCAF)
to advocate, educate and act on behalf of the arts
in Indiana.

Arts Day at the State House February 25
Once a year, arts advocates from around Indiana
descend on the Statehouse in Indianapolis to talk
with members of the State Legislature. You are
invited to participate in 2008!
The
Indiana Coalition for the Arts will
celebrate the arts with Arts Day at the
Statehouse on Monday February 25, 2008 from 10
a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Rotunda of the State House. The
event had to be rescheduled from February 28 because
the legislature will not be in session that day.
Arts Day brings together hundreds of
artists, arts administrators, and arts business
owners from across the state and their state
legislators to inform them about the positive impact
of the arts on Hoosier lives, communities, and the
state's economy.
The event will also include the
awarding of the Community Arts Leadership Awards.
The Indiana Coalition for the Arts Foundation (INCAF)
will honor individuals who have contributed to the
arts in four categories: Arts Administrator, Arts
Educator, Arts Advocate, and Volunteer Board Member
or Arts Leader.
Recipients of the awards will not
only be recognized during the ceremony, but will be
introduced later in the afternoon before both the
House and Senate.
Representatives from Indiana’s arts
communities are urged to participate in two ways:
(1)
Register to attend. Arts Day is free and open to
all Hoosier arts advocates. (2) Invite your State
Senator and State Representative to attend. A link
is available on the INCA website to
invite your elected officials and let them know
that you support the arts in Indiana.
As part of the Arts Day activities,
the Indianapolis Museum of Art will hold a reception
for Indiana’s legislators on
the evening of Monday, February 25th.
The public reception begins at 5:30. Arts
representatives are encouraged to attend.
