We hope Trevor Yager, this report details useful information about the programs and services we provide the citizens of Indiana, Vice-Chair and their impact on Hoosiers of all ages in all regions of our great state. Indianapolis Karen Ellerbrook, We encourage you to carefully review the information provided in this report to fully appreciate the im- Secretary pact of the arts in your region of the state. Review the list of grant recipients and program participants in Evansville the back of the report and we believe you will be impressed not only with the number of people positive- Kathy Ziliak Anderson ly impacted by Indiana Arts Commission grants and services, but also by the diversity of people, Nashville communities and organizations served. Gilberto Cárdenas South Bend The Indiana Arts Commission welcomes our newly-elected Governor, Lieutenant Governor, as well as M. Susan Hardwick legislators. We look forward to working with all of you to advance the arts in Indiana. We are particularly Evansville excited to know the incoming First Lady is a professional watercolor artist, and our Lt. Governor-elect Judy Hess has fi rst-hand experience with music education. Corydon Pam Hicks Through determined leadership and sacrifi ce, Indiana has emerged from a recession in a much stronger Greenwood position than many other states. According to a recent study by Indiana University, employment in the Jeffrey J. Kirk, II arts, entertainment and recreation sectors remained stable during times when overall employment in Carmel Indiana decreased, and then rebounded more quickly than other sectors during our economic recovery. These jobs not only make signifi cant contributions to the state’s economy, but also appear to weather Linda S. Levell Vincennes economic changes better than in many other industries. J. Allan Rent According to national economic research by Americans for the Arts, nearly 53,000 Hoosiers were em- Muncie ployed, full-time, in arts-related jobs in 2011, an increase of 5,700 since 2010. The same study reports Suzie Rentschler 13,570 arts-related businesses call Indiana home. Details of this information will be shown for each of Hartsville the Indiana Arts Commission’s 11 geographic regions. Each of these businesses and these Hoosier Micah L. Smith workers support families and contribute to the local, state and national economy and tax base. Indianapolis Sherry Stark The arts are a critical element to help us see not only who we are but what we are capable of being. The Columbus arts may help us be better human beings, but they also help strengthen our schools, our workplaces, Nancy P. Stewart and our communities. This creative economy, fueled by the arts, helps our communities and state attract Fort Wayne the very best and brightest creative thinkers and entrepreneurs. Thank you for taking the time to explore the arts of Indiana. We stand ready to provide any additional information or answer any questions. We celebrate the arts with you and value their impact on the lives of millions of Hoosiers. Sincerely, Jon Ford Lewis C. Ricci IAC Chairperson IAC Executive Director About the Indiana Arts Commission’s Grant Programs Indiana has an impressive history of signifi cant contributions to the arts. Home to artists such as T.C. Steele and Robert Indiana, designers Bill Blass and Michael Graves, entertainers Hoagy Carmichael and Crystal Gayle, Indiana has inspired and encouraged generations of Hoosiers. For more than 40 years, the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) has advocated for and extended grant support to Indiana artists and community-based cultural organizations. Strengthening the arts is critical to strengthening a dynamic and creative work- force throughout our state. More than 13,500 arts-related businesses call Indiana home and employ nearly 53,000 Hoosiers. The Commission fi rst awarded 42 grants in 1969, and today, centrally and through its Regional Arts Partner system, annu- ally awards grants to nearly 400 individual artists, arts organizations, and cultural program providers throughout the State of Indiana. Qualifying for an IAC grant has come to represent a “gold seal” standard of excellence. A breakdown of the grants in each county for FY2011 & FY2012 begins on page 22. Arts in Education Grant (AIE) Funded primarily through interest income from revenue generated by the Celebrate the Arts license plate, this program was developed to help support in-classroom, arts- related learning projects. These projects partner schools and teaching artists to develop activities that impact student engagement and performance, and develop long-term commitment to the arts in Indiana schools at the primary and secondary level. For more information, visit: www.IN.gov/arts/artsineducation.htm. Individual Artist Program (IAP) This program is designed to provide individual artists with grant assistance for specifi c projects that will help further their career development. Grants have been used to meet the artists’ needs in promotion, business development, and devel- oping and reaching new markets for their work. The program also encourages artists to develop projects that have a positive impact on their communities where they live and work. For more information, visit: www.IN.gov/arts/individualartistprogram.htm. Multi-Region Arts Operating Support (AOS III) Formerly known as Multi-regional Major Institutions, or Majors, this grant is for Indiana’s largest arts organizations with budgets in excess of $1 million and multi-regional program exposure with a focus on educational opportuni- ties. These organizations provide signifi cant economic and employment impact in the communities where they are lo- cated, and contribute to the economic and cultural tourism development of the entire state. For more information, visit: www.IN.gov/arts/AOSIII.htm. January 2013 | 4 Regional Arts Partnership (RAP) Regional Arts Partnership organizations work with the IAC to provide core services to community-based cultural organizations in specifi c, multi-county regions of the state. The Partners receive an annual block grant from the IAC specifi cally formulated to meet the needs of organizations in their regions via the Regional Initiative Grant program. Block grant amounts vary by region. For more information, visit: www.IN.gov/arts/regionalartspartner.htm. Regional Initiative Grant (RIG) In most regions, there are four primary grant catego- ries awarded for cultural programming providers. Grant amounts vary depending on a variety of factors. For more information, visit: www.IN.gov/arts/regionalinitiativegrant.htm. Large Operating Support (AOS II) This category is for organizations with annual cash incomes of $250,000 or more. Small Operating Support (AOS I) This category is for organizations with annual cash incomes of $249,999 or less. Large Project Support (APS) Arts Project Support grants are designed for cultural pro- gram providers that do not have a primary arts-focused mission. Many libraries, universities, public schools, and community centers qualify for this grant category. Small Project Support (Mini) Some Regional Arts Partners off er Small Project Support grants, or mini-grants, for single project applications. As with the Large Project Support grants, the applicant need not have a primary arts-focused mission. 5 | January 2013 Statewide Arts Service Organizations (SWASO) This grant program helps strengthen the capacity of arts organizations off ering training and or technical assistance services on a statewide basis. Such projects may include seminars, conferences, workshops and training sessions. For more information, visit: www.IN.gov/arts/SWASO.htm. Technical Assistance Program Grant (TAP) Technical Assistance Program grants assist established and emerging institutions

    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Another Election for the Record Books in Indiana Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 48 of 49 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious, including Republicans and Democrats. Forty-three (43) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Twelve (12) new legislators won with IBRG-endorsements. IBRG was significantly-engaged in support of six (6) top-target challenger and open-seat races, as well as successfully defending twelve (12) pro-economy incumbents seriously challenged with defeat. In one of the most dramatic turn of events in years, Republicans won significant battles for state legislative seats across the state to expand their “quorum-proof majorities.” These victories were particularly surprising to those working for months closely in campaigns and candidates, as Indiana’s public opinion environment on issues and views of incumbents was - right up until Election Day - about as bad an environment for Republicans and incumbents as seen in years. This marks the third election cycle in a row that Republicans have expanded their margins in the Indiana House and Senate. The Republicans won a net two (2) seat gain in the Indiana House of Representatives to achieve a 71-29 margin. Four (4) incumbent legislators lost reelection bids in the House (one Republican and three Democrats).

    2018 General Election Report by IBRG (Update15)

    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Tumultuous Political Environment Nets Solid Election Wins Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 70 of 74 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious. Twenty-one (21) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Considerable excitement and upheaval in the Indiana electorate this mid-term election certainly created rough waves and realignments around the state. However, in the end there were few ultimate changes in the political status quo for both candidates and seats held by the parties. Republicans swept all statewide races by significant margins, led by an unexpectedly large double-digit margin victory by Mike Braun for the U.S. Senate seat. In the General Assembly, Republican majorities took a relatively modest hit, but not enough to lose super-majority status. In the House, three (3) incumbent GOP legislators were defeated, resulting in a net breakdown of a 67-33 GOP majority. In the Senate, the Republican super-majority was reduced by just one seat to 40-10 with the defeat of notorious Sen. Mike Delph (R-Carmel). Although the final tally changed little, the Senate battlefield was intense and involved more competitive races than seen in the last decade. It’s very hard to look at the 2018 midterms in Indiana state legislative races as a “status quo” election, even though the number of seats changing was minimal.
