Southeastern Indiana Arts & Culture Plan Released

Did you hear? The Indiana Arts & Culture Plan is OFFICIAL!🤝🏻🎨

As part of Indiana’s READI Arts & Culture Initiative, Southeastern Indiana has launched a 10-year Arts & Culture plan.  The purpose of this plan is to enhance quality of life, strengthen the local economy, and provide an important — often missing — piece to community planning: arts and culture.  Three overarching regional priorities were identified in the planning process: 1) Place & Identity, 2) Attachment & Opportunity, and 3) Leadership & Collaboration.  The plan includes a toolkit of ideas, inspiration, and resources, in addition to county profiles as a start for local leaders to use in adapting the plan to their needs.

Please contact Mary McCarty, mary.mccarty@sirpc.org, Executive Director at the Southeast Indiana Regional Planning Commission, for questions on how to get involved or to connect with your county's lead art representative!
