ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Ernest Disney-Britton

INDIANA---During a year of risk-taking philanthropic ideas in Indianapolis, the Spirit & Place Festival has now announced a $20,000 award for a daring idea that reshapes notions of race in Central Indiana, and the public will get to vote for the best ideas. The innovation began this Winter with the power2give from the Arts Council of Indianapolis, and was followed this Summer by the 5x5 program of the CICF. Individuals and organizations from any sector and discipline—artists and cultural organizations, faith leaders and congregations, scholars and educational organizations, social entrepreneurs and civic organizations—are invited to submit original projects by October 1.
