Support the Power of Art

Art has the power to shape a community. It connects individuals, governments and businesses, and makes cities and towns more beautiful places to live and visit. Nowhere can this be seen with more clarity than at Nickel Plate Arts. With the help of our sponsors’ support, we enthusiastically support outstanding arts experiences in Fishers, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, Atlanta and Tipton.
