Arts & Culture

This marvelous poetry collection opens with the changes that have come to Hoosier life and landscape, poems that paint a picture of the vanishing past of Indiana with more joy than sorrow. As we meander on through the collection we come across the many more moods of life in Indiana – poems of joy and sorrow, pain and excitement, all composed by poets who share a Hoosier connection.

A public art project is giving area residents and visitors the chance to talk about their “bucket lists.”

The “Before I Die” interactive mural is being installed in Lafayette and West Lafayette.

People are asked to write their ideas on the wall.

West Lafayette Public Arts Team chair Craig Martin says it’s a place to share hopes and dreams and to showcase the diversity of the community.

The mural was created by New Orleans artist Candy Chang.

It has been installed in more than 30 countries.

Whoa!  Did Herbert Kohls write that sports are part of the creative world?  That developing my home budget is a creative act as is dancing or listening to music as I study? What is going on here?!  This is NOT your typical “arts are good because they foster math skills” kind of book, is it?  No, it certainly is NOT!  This IS a book that makes the case for celebrating the arts in the curriculum of our schools and our daily lives.
