Arts Organization of the Month

Help your favorite Indy-area organization get some valuable publicity

Each month, a small- to mid-sized organization will be featured in 30-second radio spots (40 spots throughout the month). This is a promotional partnership between WICR and Indy Arts Council.

Selected organizations must be based in the Indianapolis metropolitan area and have:

  • A 501c3 status.
  • An annual operating budget below $500,000.
  • Programming or promotional needs that align with the month in which they are selected. (For example, an event, a fundraising campaign, etc.)
