Support the kids in the arts at Concerts for a Cause

Help kids flourish through art AND help transform the lives of American soldiers.

It’s all part of Indianapolis-based “Concerts for a Cause,” featuring Austin-based singer-songwriter Darden Smith, founder and creative director of SongwritingWith:Soldiers, and Nashville-based singer-songwriter Amy Black. Proceeds will benefit The Kids Art Program at the Indianapolis Art Center and SongwritingWith:Soldiers.
