Art & Soul

"What is Art & Soul, you ask?"

Art & Soul is one of the most visible and exciting programs in the Indianapolis Artsgarden. An annual celebration of African-American art and artists in Indiana, it features a diverse lineup of music, poetry, storytelling, dance, and visual art. This signature program of the Arts Council of Indianapolis showcases some of the state's most creative African-American artists during Black History Month in February and throughout the year. All of the Art & Soul performances are free and open to the public.

Since its inception in 1996, Art & Soul has become a highly anticipated annual tradition for the thousands who attend the festival, expanding their awareness and appreciation of African-American art.
