The SMART Program is a unique partnership between the Indianapolis Art Center and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana. It is a yearlong structured art program for youth between the ages of 12-18 from underserved areas of Indianapolis with an interest in the visual arts. These youth are matched to mentors in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program who together attend a series of specialized art classes in a variety of media at the Art Center.
