“I believe that art is very important in our soc “I believe that art is very important in our society. It can be a comic relief. It can be a conversation starter and it's most definitely something universal that most people can relate to in some way.” @harrietwatson.art

Art & Vinyl is an ongoing project, curated by @jarroddortch, that aims to bring the work of Black artists to the forefront. To see more from Harriet Ann Watson and others, see link in bio.

Calling all Indianapolis-based visual artists! Tha Calling all Indianapolis-based visual artists! Thanks to The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Big Car Collaborative now has a new program, Power Plant Grants. A panel of two out-of-state and two local jurors select artists to receive project grants of between $2,000-$10,000.  Apply by April 26. Link in bio.

The Power Plant Grant supports visual artists who live, work, or run spaces in Indianapolis, IN. 

Eligible applicants are visual/multidisciplinary artists who create original work in painting, drawing, sculpture, book art, ceramics, fiber, printmaking, digital/media works, film, video, photography, performance art, sound art, social practice and/or hybrid or interdisciplinary practice of any/all of the above.

Artists must be over 21 at the time of the application, and may not be full-time students.

Artists must live and/or work in Indianapolis.

Full time employees or board members (or immediate family members of employees or board members) of Big Car Collaborative are not eligible for this opportunity.

Teams, partnerships, and unincorporated individuals running spaces are eligible. Nonprofit organizations are not.
“Everybody is a creator and everything that they “Everybody is a creator and everything that they touch or interact with is therefore art. Art is ever-evolving. So you need to give grace not only to the project but to the person who is creating said project. I feel like if we can all approach life like we approach art, the world would be a little bit kinder and a lot more open to possibilities.” -@alisstor_king
