About the Zionsville Cultural District

Where Culture Meets Community

The name Zionsville Cultural District (ZCD) represents both the heart of the village district and an organization that coordinates marketing initiatives for the community as a whole.

As a cultural district, our purpose is to promote all of Zionsville’s diverse art, culture, history, and community assets to residents, visitors, and potential employers in order to enhance interest in Zionsville, increase tourism, and stimulate economic development.

The Zionsville Cultural District works to coordinate artistic, history-based, and cultural experiences within the community such as the summer concert series in Lions and Lincoln Parks, the public art mural initiative, the annual sidewalk poetry contest, and the Dahlia Project.

Our future goals include:
  • Establishing more public art throughout greater Zionsville
  • Creating historical and cultural events
  • Drawing attention to the artists, artisans, musicians, historians and creators in our community.
  • Improving the quality of life for residents
  • Strengthening our local business environment and enriching experiences for visitors.

Zionsville Cultural District is headed by a working board of directors that meets monthly. In addition. there are several committees who work on activities and programs.  

If you are interested in joining the Zionsville Cultural District board or committees, please contact Board President Steve Mundy at [email protected] or Board Treasurer Candace Ulmer at [email protected]. 
The ZCD Value Statement

The Zionsville Cultural District Board of Directors are a tapestry of skill, commitment, points of view and desire to bring forth to the Town of Zionsville a broad representation of art, history, and culture for all to enjoy and participate in.

We will never discriminate or tolerate discrimination against our fellow neighbor or visitor based on race, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion or on any other basis.

We honor and respect everyone’s personal journey through life and we conduct ourselves in relation to each other with integrity and kindness.
​
This is who we are.
The ZCD Social Media Position Statement

Zionsville Cultural District (ZCD) was established to make art, culture and history accessible and obvious not only for Zionsville’s residents, but also for its visitors and potential employers.  The ZCD has chosen to promote, enhance and celebrate its events, programs and opportunities through its website (www.zvillecd.org), Facebook, Instagram and its newsletter.

ZCD understands and appreciates art as a subjective asset. ZCD will continue to be inclusive in its approach, especially to public art.  The protocol ZCD has established for public art is to provide an artist call out, accept artists submissions, reconcile the submission against the call out criteria and submit said submissions to the ZCD Artist Review Panel.  The panel consists of five (5) local business owners/community leaders affiliated with the arts in various artistic mediums. There are no ZCD board members on the review panel.​

Any posted comments made on Social Media are solely and completely the opinions of those who have created the post and ZCD will not contend the opinions are accurate or justifiable.
The Zionsville Cultural District thanks our current and recent past sponsors for their generous support of our mission.
