411 Community Studio now open!
The 411 Community Studio is a flexible space for local and visiting artists to work, meet and collaborate. Designed by LAA Office and fabricated of custom plywood panels and built-in furniture by Tovey Perry Co., the space is meant to evolve as artists work with the community to reimagine the exhibition wall into temporary installations. The Community Studio is part of the Columbus Area Arts Council's inaugural residency project and was made possible through generous support from Heritage Fund: The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County.

Celebrate National Arts & Humanities Month on Social Media
Show Your Art is a social media campaign designed by Americans for the Arts to engage arts advocates on local, state, and national levels, and to bring awareness of National Arts and Humanities Month to the public. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to share images on Instagram, and AFTA will repost some of their favorites throughout the month.
Another way AFTA is celebrating is by joining forces with the National Humanities Alliance on four collaborative prompts – Past, Present, Future; Inspired by ...; Cultural Heritage; and Advocacy – that are tailor-made to show off the beauty of both the arts and the humanities.
