Redefining how a gallery can operate, local artist and 3Mass Gallery Founder/Director Forrester Svendsen has brought together the Indianapolis community in a collaborative effort to support local art and artists in the new luxury condo building 3Mass. Forrester joined forces with the home owners associaton of 3 Mass, IDADA, the Arts Council of Indianapolis, local businesses and foundations to create not only a new sophisticated exhibition space, but also to afford local artists significant financial benefits and offset artists’ material costs, through funded grants. The 3Mass Gallery also incorporates a philanthropic side by giving back to the local community through donating ten percent of each art show’s earnings to the exhibiting artists’ charity of choice.
