Race fans won’t be in the stands for this year’s Indianapolis 500, but they can get collector's items that mark the first time the race will run in August, and seed a new relief fund for local artists.

From our WFYI's Arts and Culture Desk Jill Ditmire speaks with Shannon Linker, vice president and director of artist services and Gallery 924 for the Arts Council of Indianapolis about the "Welcome Race Fans" project.
