From Sun King:
Indianapolis, IN – Over the weekend Sun King hosted the inaugural CANvitational, showcasing some of the best canned craft beer from across America. However, the event was more than just a beer festival, it was a chance for Sun King to give back to the community and opportunity to highlight and support high-impact arts projects through the in the community. To find those projects, Sun King chose power2give, an initiative of the Arts Council of Indianapolis, as the resource to discover organizations with particularly special projects that needed and deserved support.
As an ongoing supporter of the work of the Arts Council of Indianapolis, Sun King is proud to partner with the power2give initiative to create meaningful community impact and support for the arts in Indianapolis. Five organizations were selected to participate in the project funding opportunity; Dance Kaleidoscope, Indiana Writers Center, New World Youth Orchestras, Spotlight Players, and VSA Indiana. All attended the CANvitational and showcased their projects in an effort to garner votes from the crowds.
By popular vote, VSA Indiana took first place and will receive $5000 to fund their project supporting a year-round series of free, public programs held in VSA Indiana’s adaptive studios, located in the Harrison Center for the Arts. VSA Indiana’s mission is to provide access to lifelong learning and creative expression through the arts of people with disabilities in Indiana and each First Friday guests can sample a new workshop led by a professional VSA artist. The line-up features inclusive workshops in ceramics, 2-D art, music, drama/movement, and more!
VSA Indiana (formerly Very Special Art) has been serving Hoosiers for over 30 years.
More information on the group and the project can be found here.
The remaining organizations will each receive $1 to $1 matching for their power2give projects up to $1000.
