What is the Indiana Cultural Commission?
The Indiana Cultural Commission was established through HEA 1003 to unify and strengthen Indiana’s cultural commissions under one collaborative structure. The Commission works to identify issues affecting underrepresented communities, promote cooperation across Indiana, and support initiatives related to education, economic opportunity, health, housing, civil rights, and community engagement.
The Commission includes representation from state leadership, legislators, and Indiana communities, including:
- Black Hoosiers
- Hispanic and Latino communities
- Women
- Native American Indian communities
The Indiana Civil Rights Commission provides administrative and staffing support to help advance the Commission’s mission statewide.
