The Harrison Center for the Arts invites you to Connect Your City: Connect Your Neighborhood, the last in a series of four 5×5 events. The 5×5: Indianapolis Arts and Innovation Prize is a contest designed to foster community building and art-focused innovations in central Indiana. Five applicants have been selected to present an innovative idea that involves the arts and Indianapolis urban neighborhoods with five slides in five minutes. The winning project will receive $10,000 to make it happen. Connect Your City is a free event, taking place Friday, September 6. Music, beer and food beginning at 5:30. Presentations start promptly at 6:30pm in the Harrison Center’s historic sanctuary during our monthly IDADA First Friday opening. Since its inception, the Harrison Center for the Arts has sought to be a catalyst for renewal in Indianapolis. Our mission has always been bigger than art for art’s sake. Today, we’re fostering the creation of new art, building a community among artists and emerging art patrons, creating new partnerships, and providing a forum for public conversations between artists and the community. In short, we’re using art to change the world. We’re using "cultural development" to change the community in which we live and work. Funded by CICF, the Efroymson Family Fund and the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation, this year-long idea-pitching series awards $10,000 to the winning idea at each of four events.
