Connecting Women Leaders

Connecting and developing women leaders is an integral part of the mission of the Indianapolis Propylaeum. Our programming for women's leadership works to inspire the next generation of female leaders and provide direct access to these leaders, promoting individual networking, and strengthening community and industry partnerships in Indianapolis.​ We connect and develop women leaders through our membership community, producing the Marilyn K. Glick Women’s Enrichment Series, and celebrating the spirit of May Wright Sewall by honoring civically engaged community leaders each year!

Celebrating Arts & Culture

Arts and cultural programs are a foundational element of the Indianapolis Propylaeum, as the place for women to learn, connect and grow. Each year, we produce the summer Porch Concert series (May through August) in which we feature four local acts, free for the community. We also offer venue space for performing and visual artists.

Supporting Historic Preservation

The Indianapolis Propylaeum values the historic preservation of original architecture in Indiana and upholds this value by maintaining the historic integrity of our 1890s mansion. We believe that preservation creates a strong sense of place and adds to the architectural and visual richness of the community by displaying the roots of its character and diversity. Designed to spotlight historic homes & neighborhoods, the work of architects, researchers, and preservation advocates, our virtual Historic Preservation Series has reached more than 500 attendees over the past five years and continues to engage audiences across Indiana and beyond.
