Indiana’s Creative Economy Leadership Alliance
What is CELA?
CELA (Creative Economy Leadership Alliance) serves as a unified voice for Indiana’s creative economy, covering nonprofit arts, commercial creative industries (film, music, fashion, etc.), and the full spectrum of creative entrepreneurs. We focus on advocacy, research, and storytelling—three critical levers for driving long-term investment and recognition.
Why this matters.
Indiana has no centralized entity advancing policy or economic development specifically for creative sectors. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build something bold that can shift perception, attract resources, and support creators across the state.
The Power of the Creative Economy
In the United States, the creative economy is defined as comprising various sectors that focus on the production and distribution of goods and services rooted in intellectual property. These sectors contribute significantly to the nation’s gross domestic product, job creation, wage growth, and export earnings.
