Art & Soul is a celebration of Black art and music in Indianapolis. Each year, four Featured Artists are recognized for their exemplary contributions to our creative community.
Featured Artists receive an infusion of support including paid, performances and exhibitions opportunities, career coaching, media placements, and more.
Since it’s inception in 1996, Art & Soul has supported over 60 Featured Artists.
