About

portrait of Gautam Rao

I like to work in a variety of media including video, paintings, design, public art and photography.

I’m an Associate Professor of Art at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana.  I earned my MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2002 and my BFA from Boston University in 1999.  I’m on the Board of Directors of the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art and was a founding Board Member of Herron High School in Indianapolis.  Some of my distinctions include a Susan Coslett Cromwell Traveling Fellowship, and awards from the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.
