Did you know?

YPs are 2 to 3 times more likely to stay if they feel they can make a difference in their community.

The 2011-2012 IndyHub Passport to the Arts presented by Lilly, is made up of Indianapolis-based arts organizations dedicated to creating and producing unique art for the enjoyment and engagement of audiences in the 21-40 year old demographic. Now in its 6th season, the purpose of the Passport is to help young professionals and creative class types explore a variety of performing and visual arts organizations in Indianapolis. We hope you will find one to connect with and be inspired to become a long-time supporter of the Indianapolis arts community.
