ACI Study

About every five years, the Indianapolis arts community is the subject of an in-depth, comprehensive study to ascertain our patterns as consumers and supporters of the arts. The Arts Council of Indianapolis recently coordinated such a study, and Sharon Gamble invited the ACI’s president, Dave Lawrence, and researcher Karen Gentleman of Gentleman McCarty to give us the bird’s eye view of the newest study.
