"When people wonder who was paying attention in Indiana as we navigated the unfamiliar waters
between the 20th and 21st century, they'll discover David Hoppe." — Susan Neville

"The essays are thumping good..."
— Michael Martone

"By turns reporter, gadfly, analyst, and storyteller, [Hoppe] is insightful and entertaining in every role." — Scott Russell Sanders

I am a writer and cultural strategist.

I have written ad campaigns and grants. I've made art, reviewed art, and stuck my neck out for art.

I've raised funds and managed budgets. I've hired, fired, analyzed and advocated.

Through it all I've learned this: inside every story is another story..a compelling humanity that wasn't quite visible, a heart that's beating to a rhythm we've just never heard before, and then won't ever forget.

My job is finding those stories and bringing them into the open.
