PASSPORT TO THE ARTS 2009
presented by Lilly
 

What is the Passport to the Arts?
The Passport to the Arts is a unique performing arts sampler program created by the participating performing arts organizations, IndyHub and The Arts Council of Indianapolis to introduce the world of performing arts to Indianapolis residents.
Following recommendations made in a multi-year research project focused on attracting the next generation of arts patrons by the Arts Council of Indianapolis, the IndyHub Passport to the Arts was born. IndyHub Nights incorporate themed receptions and background information on one performance for each organization, providing a chance for participants to learn, sense and connect to the performance art prior to, during and/or after the performance. 
 
The Passport is offered at significantly discounted rate, in thanks to the generosity of The Eli Lilly Foundation. 2009/2010 Passport to the Arts features the Indianapolis Opera, Dance Kaleidoscope, the Indiana Repertory Theatre, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Phoenix Theatre.  

What are the restrictions on the Passport?
While the Passport is flexible – you don’t have to attend the IndyHub Night performance – there are a few restrictions on the Passport. 
  • The Indiana Repertory Theater, Dance Kaleidoscope and the Indianapolis Opera will honor your Passport at any of their regular 2009/2010 shows.   
  • The Phoenix Theatre will honor your Passport at any 2009/2010 Thursday evening shows.
  • The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will honor your Passport at the IndyHub Night Performance or any performance in the Symphonic Hits series.
Can anyone participate or is the Passport targeted to young professionals like IndyHub?
IndyHub is a network for young professionals.  Our mission is to help Indianapolis attract and retain young professionals and create a more vibrant young professional community in the City.  We believe the arts and diversity are a huge part of this vibrancy.  That is why Passport to the Arts is open to anyone who wishes to purchase it.

The IndyHub Night concept has been modeled after other city’s interests in engaging young professionals in the arts.  That said, everyone is welcome to come and learn, sense and connect to the arts organizations we’re promoting.
How will I use the Passport?

Several weeks prior to each IndyHub Night, we will send a message out to the Passport participants reminding them of the upcoming event.  You will need to call the organization to reserve their seat.  In some cases, you will need to do this by a certain day.   

Should you choose to attend a performance other than the IndyHub night, you will need to contact the box office of the organization you are wishing to attend to reserve your seat.

Will I receive actual paper tickets?
No. After you make your reservation, a ticket will be held for you at Will Call.

You will receive a physical Passport in the mail [Lilly employees will receive it through inter-office mail] with instructions and information on each IndyHub Night performance.  These Passports will be stamped along each stop.  If you forget or loose your Passport, do not worry.  Each organization has your name on a list.

Can someone else use my Passport reservation if I can’t attend or want to gift it to a friend?
Yes.  When making your reservation, please reference the name of the person who has purchased the Passport.

I’m a Passport participant.  My [insert here: boyfriend, best friend, parent] is in from out of town the same night as an IndyHub Night performance.  Can I purchase an extra ticket for him/her?

Yes.  Subject to availability, another ticket can be purchased and arrangements can be made for your guest to attend the IndyHub Night performance. Here are some quick and easy steps we’d like for you to follow:
  1. Call the box office to reserve your ticket and mention you’d like to purchase another ticket seated with your own.
  2. E-mail karissa@indyhub.org to add your guest to the IndyHub Night reception list.
  3. Easy enough, right?

My Passport Confirmation receipt says the Passport runs from Sept. 2009 to Dec. 2009.  Is this correct?
No. The Passport lasts until the end of the 2009/2010 art season in June 2010.  We are fixing this as we type.  The long and short of it is, this will not affect how you use the Passport.

How many people have purchased the Passport?
We’re well on our way to having nearly double participation of 2008 and expect that we’ll reach the 200 mark soon. In 2008, 84 people purchased the Passport. We’re very excited about the increase in participants, but recognize that in some cases, availability for shows will be in limited.

My name isn’t on the Passport list at a certain organization.  Who should I contact? 
Please contact Molly Chavers at 317.624.0248 or Karissa Rittmeyer at 317.624.0237.
