Indianapolis Creative Risk Fund

The Indianapolis Creative Risk Fund is a program of the Herbert Simon Family Foundation to provide funding for individual artists, artist collectives, and collaborations of individual artists to take creative risks.  

Risk-taking, experimentation and exploration are critical for developing and supporting a progressive arts scene and creative economy, and Herbert Simon Family Foundation desires to encourage this type of creative action in the community.  

In addition to grant funding, Creative Risk Fund recipients will have their work showcased in a public event and exhibit curated by Creative Director and Performing Arts Curator Rishard Allen and Visual Arts Curator Lindsay Lord.
