NEWS & OPPORTUNITIES 

50/50 – A Community Exhibition to return to 411!
Are you looking for a creative assignment? The Columbus Area Arts Council is looking for 50 creative people to create one work of art for a winter exhibition entitled “50/50”. All works must be made on 4” x 4” wood panel supplied by the Columbus Area Arts Council. Additional materials are to be supplied by the participant and can include painting, drawing, collage, textiles or mixed media mounted directly on the wood panel.

All works will be sold for $50 each to support 411 – A Project of the Arts & Entertainment District.

To participate RSVP to svillegas@artsincolumbus.org by September 28. More instructions to follow.

Register for the third annual Indiana Arts Homecoming

Registration is open for the third annual Indiana Arts Homecoming taking place October 24 - 25, 2019 at the Indiana Historical Society in downtown Indianapolis. The event is a gathering of Indiana’s artists, arts providers, and creative communities who are doing work every day to create opportunities that are vibrant, engaging, and embedded in the liv of our citizens. The conference is expected to attract more than 300 attendees from all communities throughout the state.

The theme for the 2019 Indiana Arts Homecoming is Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access: Arts for All. The conference will explore what "Arts for All" means in practice, inspire new ideas as participants advance their work using this specific lens, and deepen leadership and capacity for artists, organizations and communities.

In addition to the main conference, registration is open for a pre-conference with "TimeSlips". Developed by Anne Basting Ph.D., the program is a creative storytelling method that helps people with mid to late stage dementia reaffirm their humanity and connect with staff, family, and friends. Rather than pressure people with dementia to remember, the program encourages them to cultivate their imaginations. This training is ideal for artists interested in expanding their storytelling skills and how they can infuse their practice into care settings. No previous experience in this work is required.
