IAC expands the community-focused mission of Irvington Presbyterian Church by offering IAC and its participants spaces to learn, grow, create, and experience. The 4 pillars of IAC are unique in the fact that they are open to all. Participants do not need to be a member of IPC or even a regular attender to enjoy the benefits of IAC. Also, the offerings of IAC are unique to Indianapolis and the East side. The Studios @ IPC  allows learners of all ages and financial backgrounds to directly participate in arts making. And, the Gallery @ IPC focuses on local artists giving them a venue in which to show their work.
