The PACE program provides funding to approval to the 2017–2021 five-year strategic plan. This document is an important planning one partnership per region of the state to provide rigorous, year-long artist residencies to foundation for our vision of the arts everywhere, every day, for everyone in Indiana. elementary-age students. Each partnership consists of a high-needs elementary school and a local arts nonprofit organization. Together, the school and the arts organization develop a curriculum that combines language arts learning with learning in an artistic discipline. Once a The big idea of the strategic plan is when the arts are partnership is established, the Indiana Arts Commission implements custom assessment tools centrally positioned in communities and the everyday lives of citizens, to measure student growth in key areas. Our hope is that this data will show an undeniable their effect radiates outward. positive impact of regular exposure to the arts on student achievement. With the PACE program model, the students get amazing arts experiences, the arts organization and school find a new community partner, and our state gets research supporting future arts education efforts. The plan’s theory of change is: • When the arts engage their communities, they create authentic and relevant work; and • When communities value creative work as relevant to their everyday lives, “Comparisons of findings from the 2015-2016 PACE program and the they engage in the arts; and 2016-2017 program provide an emerging and intriguing portrait of how • When communities engage in the arts, the arts thrive; and the PACE program is providing consistent growth and advancement of students’ knowledge and skills in the arts.

This tool provides data Partnering Arts, Communities, and Education (PACE) on creative sector activity which can be customized from the regional level all the way down to Tippecanoe County the zip code level. The Creative Vitality Suite makes it easy for organizations working within the creative economy space in Indiana to access data, explore data, and most important, use creative economy data for planning and to demonstrate their impact now, and in the future. Indiana Arts and Culture Nonprofits: Overview and Challenges In 2018, the Indiana Arts Commission partnered with the Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs on a report to provide information about the nonprofit sector in Indiana: its composition and structure, its contributions to Indiana, the challenges it faces, and how these features vary across Indiana communities. The goal of this collaborative research effort is to help community leaders develop effective and collaborative solutions to community needs and to inform public policy decisions. A number of key findings stand out from the analysis of Indiana arts and culture nonprofits: 1. A diverse nonprofit sector is engaging in a wide variety of programs and activities. 2. There’s an increased demand for services, but expenses are outpacing revenues. 3. Indiana arts and culture nonprofits are relying heavily on volunteers. 4. More resources are in place for paid staff rather than board members or volunteers. 5. Some key organizational components are in place, but not across the board. 6. Financial and marketing activities present the most challenges.

  • William Conner
    The Life Of William Conner Timothy Crumrin William Conner lived his life in two different worlds. He lived and dressed both as a white settler and as a Native American. Because he lived as both a White man and an American Indian, William Conner understood the two different ways of life and how they affected each other. William was born near Lichtenau, Ohio in 1777, to parents Richard and Margaret Conner. His father was a trader and tavern keeper. They lived with Moravians in Schoenbrunn, Ohio. Moravians were missionaries among the Delaware Indians. The Conners traveled William Conner with them to Michigan where William grew up. Then the Moravians and Delaware decided to return to Ohio. Richard Conner and his family stayed in Michigan. He established a trading post and helped others settle in the area. By 1795, at only eighteen years old, William was trading with the Native Americans in Michigan. In the winter of 1800-1801, William and his brother John came to Indiana to become fur traders. SETTLING IN Both men settled among the Delaware and married Delaware women. According to legend, William's wife, Mekinges, was the daughter of Chief Anderson, but no one can be certain. Traders often found it helpful to marry into the tribes they traded with. For Conner, it gave him more power and control over the tribe’s actions. It also meant that the other Delawares trusted him more. Like Conner, traders often became the link between Indians and the white world. William Conner built a log home and a trading post.
