Connect with fellow artists, arts organizations, and arts advocates at Indiana’s annual statewide two-day arts conference (coming to Fort Wayne October 18 & 19) that features more than 30 learning sessions focusing on big ideas and big ways to have an impact on community vibrancy through the arts. Come ready to learn, celebrate, and create and leave energized and empowered to bring the arts closer to the center of your community.

To make sure that the Indiana Arts Homecoming reflects the broadest possible convergence of arts folks from around the state, they’re offering TWO scholarship opportunities for this year’s event!
