The Arts Federation (TAF) is the umbrella organization and arts council for fourteen Indiana Counties (Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Fountain, Howard, Jasper, Newton, Montgomery, Pulaski, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Warren, and White). TAF provides educational opportunities in the visual, performing, and literary arts, outreach programs for both underserved communities and youth, and funding for capital and operational expenses to fellow arts organizations region-wide. Established in 1976, TAF serves as the model for arts advocacy and demonstrates best practices to peer organizations statewide.
