An Experimental Creative Showcase Featuring the 2025-26 Indianapolis Creative Risk Fund Recipients
The 2026 edition of Risky Business brings together nine artists across music, dance, literary, and visual arts for an experimental creative showcase. Recipients of the Herbert Simon Family Foundation’s Indianapolis Creative Risk Fund, each artist situates themself in a unique personal and creative challenge, unearthing new ways to tell familiar stories, embracing vulnerability, critiquing the status quo, and undertaking risks that are both personal and political. They explore themes and experiences surrounding environmental sustainability, displacement, systemic racism, substance use disorder, disability, and anti-violence through fresh and innovative artmaking approaches, inviting audiences into a contemplative experience that both challenges and inspires.
A program of Herbert Simon Family Foundation, the Indianapolis Creative Risk Fund provides funding to individual artists, artist collectives, and collaborations of individual artists to take creative risks and pursue experimental projects.
