Since 1996, Art & Soul has helped advance the careers of Black artists in Indianapolis. Each year, four Featured Artists are recognized for their exemplary contributions to our creative community. The year-long program features public events that celebrate visual art, music, dance, and literature. Art & Soul is hosted by Indy Arts Council and supported annually by Lilly Endowment Inc.

In an effort to raise awareness the Indy Arts Council has partnered with 7 local artists to interpret the process of recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). Each artwork sheds light on the untold side of addiction. We hope that this exhibition may encourage you to reach out and take part in opioid prevention in your community.

Experience exhilarating live performances at the Indianapolis Artsgarden! The Garden Sessions and Art & Soul Sundays present an eclectic mix of Indy performers, delivering jazz, hip hop, classical melodies and electrifying breakdance performances.
