- IU Indianapolis Spirit of Philanthropy Award - 2007
Carmen Holeman is originally from Matthausen, Austria. She settled in Indianapolis, where she is an art collector and a community philanthropist. In 2005, Holeman and her husband generously donated their collection of fine press and artists’ books to the Herron Art Library. Their passion and discerning taste helped develop a foundation for this museum-caliber collection, and their ongoing generosity has created a secure home for these beautiful and sometimes fragile works.
