The Carmel International Arts Festival (CIAF) welcomes Merchants Bank as the newest festival sponsor. Merchants has come forward with a sponsorship for the event, scheduled for Sept. 24 and 25, 2022, in the Carmel Arts & Design District.
Headquartered in Carmel, Merchants Bank operates multiple lines of financing options. Some of these include healthcare facility financing and servicing, retail and correspondent residential mortgage banking, agricultural lending, and traditional community banking. It is this sense of community that led to the funding.
“Merchants Bank of Indiana recognizes the importance of the arts in our community, and we’re honored to support this premier event,” said Indianapolis Market President Susan Kucer.
CIAF brings more than 100 talented artists from around the country and nearly 30,000 people to the two-day event in the Arts & Design District. The artists specialize in nine different media, including glass, 2D, 3D, paint, jewelry, photography, fiber, ceramics and wood.
The artists are set up along the two main arteries of the Arts & Design District in Carmel: Main Street and Range Line Road. The community is presented with the finest samplings to simply enjoy or purchase and take home.
Additionally, the festival supports its mission through the awarding of several financial scholarships to local high school students.
