The National Bank of Indianapolis - Sponsor of the American Pianists Awards

As our city’s largest locally-owned bank, The National Bank of Indianapolis recognizes the important role the arts play in enriching our community.   And we believe in strengthening our community through our partnerships.  This is why we are pleased to support the American Pianists Association.

Organizations like the American Pianists Association add significantly to the quality of life in our community.  The American Pianists Association’s performances offer unparalleled opportunities for our employees, our clients and our community, to experience world-class jazz and classical pianists right here in Indianapolis. 

The National Bank of Indianapolis was founded in 1993 with the vision of providing an extremely high level of specialized service in a very professional manner to nonprofit organizations, as well as professionals, executives and businesses.  Our partnership with the American Pianists Association is fitting, as we truly believe that banking is an art form and with each client we serve, we remain dedicated to creating masterpieces in service.
