This project and supporting programming were made possible through a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission.
The Indiana Arts Commission awarded five Indiana communities with early action grants to implement creative community development projects to enhance the quality of life and grow local economies.
The City of Bedford will address a lack of opportunity to experience visual arts in their community by repurposing Little Free Libraries as little free art galleries and installing a permanent public art exhibit case downtown. They will also offer creative programming in the community to cultivate and deepen interest in the arts.
The Indiana Communities Institute (ICI) brings together top research and outreach activities to assist communities as they strive to improve life experiences for residents, businesses, and visitors.
