What is

ArtMix?

ArtMix is an Indianapolis-based not-for-profit organization that works to transform the lives of people with and without disabilities through the creation of art. With six core programs and additional special projects, ArtMix serves more than 7,000 people annually.

Our Mission

The ArtMix Mission is to transform the lives of people with disabilities through the creation of art.

Our Values

Creativity

by sparking curiosity and valuing originality and quality

Collaboration

by developing and maintaining relationships with others through the strength of team and the blending of skills

Respect

by treating all people with consideration and dignity in an ethical and honest manner

Inclusivity

by providing the most accessible art programming possible and serving participants, teaching artists, and staff members of all backgrounds and abilities

ArtMix Provides:

  • adaptive equipment and trained Teaching Artists skilled in adapting arts lessons for people of all abilities;

  • a focus on participant abilities rather than their disabilities;

  • ongoing programs for people with disabilities;

  • inclusive arts programs that encourage people of all abilities to create together.

Our Goals

For many of the people we serve, ArtMix studios and programs provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming place.

For people with disabilities, both our physical location and our programs create a place to belong, where they are accepted and valued.

Because people with disabilities face barriers daily, this sense of belonging is crucial and informs who we are.
