Buying Indy Art: A Guide for Businesses was written in collaboration with gallerists and art consultants throughout central Indiana. This new publication, a ‘nuts and bolts’ guide to starting or building a corporate art collection, assists central Indiana businesses and corporations to understand better the process of locating, selecting, and buying original local art.

As part of the Be Indypendent: Buy Indy Art movement, the guide highlights how art can complement an organization’s image as well as its public spaces while reinforcing and supporting the wide range and depth of artistic talent that exists within the greater Indianapolis area.
