Our local village association sponsors two gallery tours, in spring and fall, where they run shuttles around to the commercial and cultural organizations in the neighborhood and everybody is open late on the same evening. They print a guide each year that everyone contributes to financially, with maps and organizational information, and that guide is distributed all year as part of a standard tourist information packet. Indianapolis is also undergoing a massive cultural development initiative including the establishment of cultural districts for the cooperative marketing of everyone within those districts: for more information visit http://www.culturalindy.org This is a joint effort between the city and the Arts Council, which is a private non-profit organization here. The Arts Council also sponsors an Arts Marketers group, which meets monthly to discuss joint and cooperative marketing opportunities.
