Lilly Day of Service

GANGGANG was approached to help design a creative experience for Lilly employees that addresses racial equity and builds a more cohesive community through collaborative mural production.

Produce - promote - preserve

Culture-building Partnerships

In collaboration with Lilly and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, GANGGANG looked identify mural locations and artists that not only promote the narrative of racial equity but embody that narrative. Furthermore, GG worked through the logistics of mural approval and volunteer event production, including safety, PR, and fun. Ashley Nora and Kyng Rhodes even overcame weather obstacles by outline their mural at 4am before the project!

GANGGANG brought professional artists from the EIGHTEEN art collective to this project to facilitate mural production for over 40 Lilly employees at Big Brothers Big Sisters and Belmont Beach. With Lilly’s volunteer-power, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful’s coordination expertise, and artists Ashley Nora, Kyng Rhodes, Rebecca Robinson, and Shane “Fitz” Young, GG added another opportunity for participation in the creative economy.

Art Makes Racism Harder

An equitable approach to art and culture is not just about the subject matter. It is about who you hire and how participants experience culture in a new way through the project.

Team Approach

The enthusiasm and savvy of the Lilly volunteers led the day. They jumped-in to the project, many with no prior painting experience, and produced new public art for local organizations and our city. Many many partners in Indianapolis are interested in hosting cultural experiences of this kind.

The Eighteen

A collective of artists who promote awareness and engagement of the arts by supporting local organizations, providing community education and mentorship, exhibiting to the public and serving as a resource for other artists. Learn more.
