Satellite Groups

As a statewide group, ArtsWORK Indiana aims to increase career skills-building and networking opportunities for artists with disabilities who don't have access to monthly meetings in Indianapolis. ArtsWORK's Creative Networks project enabled local groups in Indiana's south central and southern regions to assist individuals in building their arts-related employment skills, personal contacts, and local support systems.

South Central ArtsWORK Indiana

A satellite group based in the greater Bloomington area has hosted monthly meetings and presentations since September 2010. Local partner organizations are The City of Bloomington and the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community. Meetings and associated informational presentations are free of charge and open to artists with or without disabilities, as well as to local arts organizations and other supporters. Find out more about the group on the South Central ArtsWORK Indiana page.

ArtsWORK New Albany

A satellite group in South East Indiana was established and sponsored an exciting series of free art career workshops during 2010-11. The weekly series, held at the Carnegie Center for Art & History, was dedicated to career skills building and raising awareness of the contributions of artists with disabilities. A culminating exhibit of artists associated with the group was held in July 2011. At this time ArtsWORK New Albany is no longer active. We'd like to thank the local partner organizations that made the events in New Albany possible: Rauch, Inc., The Carnegie Center for Art & History, and The Arts Council of Southern Indiana.

Creative Networks was funded by a grant to the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Arts and Disability Center at the University of California in Los Angeles. ArtsWORK Indiana's statewide partners are the Indiana Arts Commission, the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, and Vsa Indiana. For more information about the project, contact Kristina Davis, Community Development Manager/Accessibility Coordinator at the IAC.
