The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) has joined with four other arts organizations to become partners in a unique online arts resource offered by Arts Place, Inc., Portland, Ind., and its website IndianaArts.org. The website is Indiana’s only statewide arts and cultural portal.
ArtsConnection Engine (ACE), a web service of IndianaArts.org, will provide the IAC with a centralized online system that will bring together artists, arts organizations, arts patrons, arts-related businesses, the media, and sponsors. The ACE service enables partnering websites to provide visitors with customized, searchable local and statewide arts-related content including an events calendar, classified listings, and directories of artists, arts organizations, and related businesses.
"This is a unique program with great potential to enhance our online presence," said Lewis C. Ricci, IAC executive director. "ACE will enable the IAC, and participating partners, to better support our arts and cultural communities and at the same time promote the wealth of arts and cultural opportunities in our state. It is another opportunity to further unite the arts community in Indiana."
On behalf of Governor Mitch Daniels, the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) is accepting proposals from Indiana cities interested in hosting the 2009 Governor’s Arts Awards.
The 2007 awards program was held in Bloomington and marked the first time the event was presented outside the city of Indianapolis. The concept of a traveling program proved widely popular even before the 2007 event was over.
