Local Artists Apply

Are you an Indianapolis 2D or 3D artist living in Bates-Hendricks, Fountain Square, Old Southside, or Garfield Park? The Neighbors Gallery is seeking 10 artists to showcase their work. The first 10 artists selected will receive $100 each to display their work for two months at a time. We hope to secure additional funding in the future to pay artists beyond the first 10. Applicants in the listed areas will be prioritized, but Indianapolis artists outside of these areas are encouraged to apply and may be selected when/if neighborhood resident artists have been given the opportunity to represent their community.

DEADLINE to submit: May 6th
