We Believe . . .
We are shaped by the places we come from and shape those places in turn.
We believe in the power of the arts, humanities, and religion to strengthen and build community, foster deeper connections, and heal the world around us. Taking a people-centered approach, we invest time into building authentic relationships and co-create programming and capacity-building opportunities that address and reflect community needs and values. Housed on the campus of IU Indianapolis, Spirit & Place is a radically unique platform based on an ethos of fairness, hospitality, and equity.
