Dreams are worth dollars! 5 x 5 is an ideas competition in which a team wins $10,000 for an idea for using art to improve Indy. Five teams–intergenerational teams encouraged–may use five slides and take five minutes to pitch their dream to make Indianapolis a better place, with art as the basis. The winner gets $10K, and the other presenting teams get $500 for participating.

A panel of judges selects the best idea–based on viability, community impact, creativity, intergenerational appeal–and the audience vote counts, too. Show up and vote for your favorite dream!

Who are the five presenters and what are their ideas? Find out here.

Food and drink for sale.  Admission is free. RSVP required, here.  Share this event on Facebook.
