Keep it going!
Join us in supporting Indiana’s creative economy.
Dear creative economy lover,
Can you feel it? The excitement in the air, the sense of opportunity? That’s the feeling of a major shift happening around the state. Our leaders are starting to see what many of you have known for years: the creative sector here in Indiana is ready to do BIG things. Here at Pattern, we’re riding the wave of momentum from last month’s Creative Economy Summit. Together, we can keep it going and unleash the power of the Hoosier creatives.

Join us by making a gift today. Pattern’s board of directors has generously agreed to match giving from new donors* through the end of the year. If you haven’t made a gift before, now is a rare opportunity to have your financial impact doubled!
When Pattern began nearly 15 years ago, we brought together photographers, graphic designers, artists, models, hair stylists, makeup artists, writers, set designers, and more to create a unique, one-of-a-kind magazine. We soon discovered that all of these enthusiastic and creative individuals were eager to collaborate and learn from one another, but often didn’t have the support to do so. This resulted in Pattern’s expansion into an organization that advocates for creatives and the creative economy.

This ongoing commitment has resulted in a refreshed strategic plan and mission. It’s a bold new vision that sees a future where the state is recognized as a leader in innovation— where Pattern supports, empowers, and grows the creative economy. We’re doing this by cultivating creative talent, conveying the story of the centrality of arts and culture to economic development, and convening leaders across the state around a shared vision to grow the creative economy.
Don’t just take our word for it—as one local artist observed:
“Pattern has exposed me to many different creatives, from entrepreneurs to musicians and actors, as well as how much adaptability and hard work goes into being a creative... There are tremendous opportunities for growth in Indiana, and Pattern is doing a lot to bring these opportunities into the light.”
For a limited time, you can double your investment in the state’s arts, culture, and the creative economy by making a gift today. This matching opportunity won’t last long.
Let’s keep it going!
