The Regional Partnership Initiative (RPI) was jointly established by the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC), the Arts Council of Southern Indiana and eleven other community-based organizations in 1997. It is a collaborative project designed to enhance support for arts and cultural activities statewide, especially in underserved areas. Among the most significant aspects of the RPI is the localization of the state arts funding process. The RPI Grant Program allows Southern Indiana citizens to decide how state tax dollars will be used to further the arts in their region.
