The Indiana Art Association was conceived to share the love of art and encourage and nurture growth together with other artists.
Our Mission:
The purpose of the organization is to promote interest, appreciation and participation in the arts. We aim to stimulate the artistic growth and development of our members as individual artists through encouragement, education, exhibition of work and exchange of ideas. It is our desire to motivate public interest in the arts and function as aesthetically wise consumers and citizens ourselves.
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery
