Indy Arts Council will publicly promote funded activities in the Art & Soul 2027 schedule of events and will provide marketing assets and tips to co-promote the activities. Funded organizations must also promote their own activities. Indy Arts Council values fair pay to artists, and a strong application will demonstrate that the artists involved have established the fees and/or that the artists affirm the pay is agreeable. Funded organizations are encouraged to establish a simple, mutually beneficial agreement with the artist that outlines deliverables and compensation.
