Neff settles in as 500 Festival CEO
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
In Indianapolis, the month of May is simply special.
“It’s like our December for a lot of other states,” 500 Festival CEO and President Dave Neff said. “It’s sort of our best month of the year given all the excitement and buzz, and obviously we’re a big part of that in collaboration with Indianapolis Motor Speedway and now IMS museum.”
the Indy 500 to the state’s identity.
Neff studied sports administration at Ball State University
“I’ve worked in the (sports administration) space, so to combine that with my love and passion for this community (is rewarding), because we’re really a community organization,” he said. “It’s just a perfect marriage, and so I’m thrilled and grateful to be here.”
Neff started his roles Jan. 1, replacing Bob Bryant, who retired. Neff had spent the previous two years as the CEO of Boilermaker Alliance, Purdue University’s NIL collective.
Neff started his career in 2007 at Pacers Sports & Entertainment. He then worked for ExactTarget, which was purchased by Salesforce in 2013.
“These are the types of roles that don’t come along very often,” he said. “My predecessor was in the seat for 12 years, and believe it or not, this is our 70th year as an organization. We were started in 1957 after four civic leaders had gone down to the Kentucky Derby in 1956 and saw what they started with the Kentucky Derby Festival. So, (they) kind of brought that idea back to Indy. To be the fifth leader in a 70-year span is pretty special.”
Neff, who grew up on the northeast side of Indianapolis and graduated from Heritage Christian High School, said he understands the significance of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and
Fall prevention program set — The Adult Children of Aging Parents Indy Metro North Chapter will host a free educational program, “Preventing Falls: Helping Older Adults Stay Safe,” from 5:30. to 7 p.m. May 12 at Church at the Crossing – The Haverstick, Door 4, 9111 Haverstick Rd.

Neff said his parents took him to a few 500 Festival Parades when he was younger. He and his wife, Joelle, have taken their four young children the past few years.
“My little sister was a 500 Festival Princess in 2007, so I remember going to the race that year,” he said.
While Neff was with ExactTarget, it sponsored three Andretti drivers, starting in 2011.
“I was our global sports marketing manager,” he said. “So, I managed our partnership and how we measure our ROI from that (sponsorship money) with Andretti. I went to eight IndyCar races in 2012, and we would bring our clients and prospects. I really got kind of immersed in it from that side of being in the pits, the garages and the paddocks. From that vantage point, it’s a pretty special way to get an inside look at how IndyCar ticks.”
Neff said the biggest challenge was meeting all the stakeholders.
There is a staff of 18 and 12 full-time interns who are with the 500 Festival from January through May. There are two boards of directors. The Festival board has 33 members and the Founda-
DISPATCHES
tion board has 20. In addition, there are corporate sponsors, other civic partners and public safety groups.
“We’ve got a lot of different groups that are supporting the way that we do,” he said. “Then beyond that, we’ve got about 2,300 volunteers.”
Neff said it helps that he has a strong, experienced team.
“We have three VPs of operations that take (leadership) of our bigger events that have each been here a decade,” he said. “What I’ve tried to do is jump in and bring some visibility to promotion, amplification of some of our key events.”
Neff said the education program reaches a third of all fourth-graders in the state.
“We’ve got about 20,000 students participating in the Kids Fit program,” he said. “We’re making sure people are aware and they can plug in with the festival.”
Neff said there are many 30- to 40year volunteers in key positions.
“Part of my goal is, ‘How do we build that leadership volunteer bench?’” he said. “We need younger generations choosing to volunteer on the start-finish line committee or part of the memorial service we do the Friday before the race. There’s lots of ways for young people, middle age and older people to get involved with us.”
Neff said this is a milestone year for two events. The 50th Mini-Marathon was scheduled for May 2. The 70th 500 Festival Parade is set for May 23, the day before the Indy 500.

Indy airport exhibit features artists with disabilities
northindy@youarecurrent.com
A new exhibit opened April 10 at the Indianapolis International Airport’s Civic Plaza, celebrating 90 Hoosier artists who have developmental disabilities.
The Indianapolis Airport Authority hosted the opening celebration with the Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, Inc. and Ability Indiana. This year’s exhibit features artists from 12 INARF member organizations, according to a news release.
“The Indy airport is the largest-exposure art gallery in the state,” Indianapolis Airport Authority Executive Director Mario Rodriguez stated. “It’s a valuable public asset and platform that showcases the breadth and wealth of artistic talent available in Indiana’s creative economy. We’re proud of that, and we want the millions who travel through the airport each year to see it.”
The Indy airport, INARF and Ability Indiana have honored Hoosier artists with disabilities for several years, and the project continues to grow with some artists returning each year with new pieces, according to the news
release. This year’s exhibit features 92 pieces in a variety of mediums.
“Creating art makes me feel relaxed and it helps keep my mind busy,” artist Elijah Keegan from the Wabash Center stated. ”I like being creative and showing my artwork to others. Not to be famous, just to show it off.”
Katy Stafford-Cunningham, INARF president and CEO, stated that showcasing Hoosier artists with disabilities sets the Indy airport apart from others.
“We appreciate all the opportunities this art exhibit gives to individuals with disabilities to show their talent and contributions that make our state the best place to travel to in the world,” she stated.
The new exhibit is part of the Indy airport’s arts and culture program, which brings rotating and permanent collections to different areas of the terminal. Most works are created by Indiana artists or those with strong ties to the state.
According to the news release, survey data shows that a large percentage of travelers notice and appreciate the airport’s art exhibits.
Local artist wanted — The Indiana Fever are searching for a central Indiana artist to design and paint a mural on the interior wall of the player parking garage at the new Indiana Fever Sports Performance Center, currently under construction. Applications are due by July 5 and an artist will be selected by July 31. The mural will be painted in early 2027, ahead of the facility’s opening. Interested applicants can attend a virtual workshop June 15 to learn more about the project. Interested artists can apply online at indyarts.grantplatform.com.

Indy District trooper named Trooper of the Year
Indianapolis District Trooper William Gigerich recently was named the 2025 Trooper of the Year during a statewide Indiana State Police awards ceremony. Gigerich of Noblesville is a two year veteran of the Indiana State Police, according to a news release. In addition to his patrol duties, he was recently certified as a drug recognition expert, giving him the tools and training to evaluate for drug impairment.
The news release stated that Gigerich represents what it means to be present and proactive.
“Trooper Gigerich has quickly established himself among the veteran troopers at our district,” Indiana State Police Indianapolis District Lt. Josh Watson stated. “His work ethic, job related knowledge, motivation to serve his community and the respect he has earned from his peers is certainly commendable. I am proud of the incredible work he has done — he has undoubtedly saved lives with his efforts.”
“His consistent visible presence and community engagement have directly contributed to deterring criminal activity and enhancing public safety across the district,” the news release stated. “Trooper Gigerich’s proactive approach extends well beyond simply responding to calls for service. He consistently identifies problem areas, addresses unsafe behaviors before they escalate and conducts enforcement actions with a clear focus on public safety, professionalism and integrity.”
As part of his award, Gigerich received a new patrol vehicle.
Each district in the state selects an annual “Trooper of the District,” according to the news release. From that list, the ISP superintendent selects a Trooper of the Year.

The World Food Championships will return to Indianapolis for a third year, with competitions set for Oct. 15-18 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center.

COMMUNITY
INDY CREATES
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
The Indy Art Center’s largest fundraising event of the year is a two-day festival that brings artists, art activities, musicians and food to the center’s Broad Ripple campus, along with thousands of area residents eager to celebrate all things art.
The OneAmerica Financial Foundation Broad Ripple Art Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 16 and 17, with booths, music, workshops, demonstrations and activities inside and outside the Indy Art Center, 820 E. 67th St., off College Avenue.
In past years, festival grounds included the center’s ArtsPark — an outdoor sculpture and nature space. But the park is going through a major renovation, which led to a little shuffling to find enough space for the growing festival.
“We have more artists this year, so we are going even farther into the (neighboring) park across the street,” Vice President of Events and Exhibitions Shannon Bennett said. “And then we take up all of our parking lots — every inch of space that we have that we can put something on, we do.”
Bennett said about 180 artists have signed up for booth space, which is about 15 more than last year. Their handcrafted items will include jewelry, paintings, ceramics, photography, clothing and fiber art, woodcraft and garden art, and everything in between.
One new artist Bennett noted is Brenda Morrison of Rhode Island, who makes glass beads for lamps, jewelry and more. Bennett also mentioned the addition of local artist David Frohbieter, who creates hand-colored pen-andink drawings. His work for the festival is focused on the Indianapolis 500 race, which is the weekend following the fair.
More about each of the fair’s featured artists is available on the center’s website.
Music is a key part of the event and musicians won’t be confined to one stage. Instead, Bennett said, there
art, crafts, music and more
will be multiple “musical moments” throughout the grounds, with roaming performers sharing their talent with festival attendees.
“One that I really enjoy … is the Circle City Bucket Drummers,” Bennett said. “They literally sit on buckets and drum on overturned buckets. They’re just fascinating to watch, and they are very talented.”
She said the musical acts are local, to highlight local talent, local musicians and the festival’s support of local artists.
“We love doing that,” she said. “We
(also) love supporting local food vendors, local restaurants in our food court. A lot of restaurants that are here in Broad Ripple are going to be featured.”
Some of the food offerings will include pizza, tacos, empanadas, lumpia, egg rolls and sweet treats like popsicles and ice cream.
As in years past, the art fair will host various art activities and demonstrations, and inside the center will be several make-it-take-it art workshops, which require advance registration. Each workshop is one to two hours
and at the end, participants get to take home a finished art piece — a horse hair raku clay pot, a welded nameplate or a glass bird. The cost of each workshop includes the festival entry fee.
Bennett said ticket prices for the fair have been lowered and, like last year, visitors receive a wristband that’s good for the whole weekend.
Parking can be a challenge for the popular festival. Those who don’t mind a walk can get to the festival by parking further away and taking the Monon trail. The IndyGo Red Line has a bus stop very close to the art center and there is bicycle parking inside the gates.
“So, if you do bicycle, you can come on the Monon, bring your bike inside, park it for the day — it’s safe,” Bennett said. “We do encourage walking, biking, taking the bus, Ubering, carpooling.”
She added that she is working on finding a parking lot that can be used in combination with a shuttle service. For more, visit indyartcenter.org/ braf.
ARTSPARK RENOVATIONS UNDERWAY
The Indy Art Center’s 12-acre campus includes a free, dog-friendly outdoor ArtsPark, adjacent to the Monon Trail and the White River, which is temporarily closed for major renovation.
Art Center President and Executive Director Mark Williams said the project includes the sculpture garden, a new grand staircase leading down from the Monon and ADA-accessible trails throughout the outdoor space, allowing more people to see the center’s outdoor art, such as the iconic Twisted House.
“The entire walk system, throughout the whole span of ArtsPark, is all one level now,” Williams said, and former gravel pathways that were challenging for wheelchair users will instead be stone and boardwalk.
Speaking of stone, the project also includes erosion-control measures along the White River, as well as improved access for park visitors to get down to the river.
“We have installed more than 660 tons of Indiana limestone along the river,” Williams said, noting that the central Indiana region has been talking for more than a decade
about improving the White River. “So, we’re leading the way by example on that front.”
On the other side of the river is the Marott Woods Nature Preserve, which provides habitat for bald eagles, river otters, turtles and other native species that sometimes pay a visit to the center’s grounds.
The renovated ArtsPark will reopen this fall, with a community celebration set for Sept. 20.

Indianapolis Symphonic Choir concert inspired by Whitman’s Civil War poetry
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Walt Whitman’s Civil War poetry examined what happens when a nation turns on itself.
“A Procession Winding Around Me” is a contemporary choral work by U.S. composer Jeffrey Van that is based on Whitman’s poetry. The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir’s “Voices of the Spirit” concert will present Van’s work at 3 p.m. May 17 at Second Presbyterian Church, 7700 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis.
“The work is conceived with the Civil War in mind but there are some parallels to where we find ourselves in contemporary society in a country and in a world where our divisions are quite strong and quite sharp, just as they were in the Civil War,” ISC Artistic Director Eric Stark said.
Van’s work is an arrangement of four Whitman poems for choir and guitar.
“It’s extraordinarily beautiful,” Stark said. “Whitman was deeply affected by the Civil War and spent a number of years interviewing veterans from the war in the Washington, D.C., area after the end of the war. He wrote a whole collection of poetry based on those conversations and what he learned.”
and my jaw was just on the floor,” Stark said of seeing Duarte in rehearsal. “It was just spectacular.”
The concert’s second half features Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Requiem.” The piece was unfinished at the time of Mozart’s death, but the ISC will perform the widely respected completion by Harvard scholar Robert Levin.
“Any composer’s Requiem Mass setting is a reflection and kind of a prayer for the dead but also perhaps a hope for us who are left behind,” Stark said.
Stark said Mozart’s piece honors those who have died for their countries.
The first poem is “By the Bivouac’s Fitful Flame.”
“The soldiers’ anxiousness about what’s going to happen is depicted by both words and music,” Stark said.
The second poem, “Beat! Beat! Drums!” is about the savagery of battle.
“The third one is a very haunting reflection of ‘The Battle Past,’” Stark said. “The last one called ‘Recollection’ expresses a longing for coming together after strife.”
Daniel Duarte, a professor at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, is the guitarist.
“I heard him play for the first time
“But it also calls us to hope for reconciliation and that better days are ahead and that we can find a way to heal our wounds and come together in peace,” he said
Prior to the concert, there will be a “In-Choir-ing Minds” education series event at 7 p.m. May 12 at Butler University’s Lilly Hall, Room 112. Musician Audrey Johnson will lead the free interactive program, “Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory: Songs & Stories of the American Civil War.”
Johnson’s “Of Thee I Sing” one-woman musical programs present American history using actual historical music.
“We are going to explore the presidential campaign immediately before

Abraham Lincoln’s and we are going to discover ways in which that set the stage for Lincoln to successfully win the presidency in 1860,” she said. “It will help us get the idea of the social and political landscape that was the context for this time.”
Johnson said people often see music as a means to tell stories in song.
“However, I do think so often we find that the songs themselves are the stories and the songs themselves have been the direct driving forces responsible for moving history forward,” she said.
Johnson said the term “Bleeding Kansas” came from a song. Bleeding Kansas describes violent civil confrontations from 1854-59 over whether slavery should be permitted in the proposed state of Kansas .
Johnson said Lincoln used music to boost enlistment for the Union Army.
“A composer named George Root, who would become instrumental time and again as a composer writing for the Union, wrote the song ‘Battle Cry of Freedom,’” Johnson said. “The moment the song was performed it had an immense impact on rallying the hearts and minds of the Union, particularly the men that were of enlistment age.”
A small ISC ensemble will sing with Johnson on many songs.
