The Vore Arts Fund

The Vore Arts Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering Muncie's arts community by eliminating financial barriers to creating commercial art, music, theater, and art education. Through zero‐interest, unconditionally forgivable loans, we enable local artists, performers, producers, and educators to launch and sustain creative ventures that enrich Muncie's cultural landscape.
