Over the past six months, SEI READI has partnered with arts and culture consultants to evaluate regional assets and identify new opportunities across Dearborn, Ripley, Franklin, Union, Ohio, and Switzerland counties. This work, funded through a statewide $100,000 grant, is the foundation for any project seeking support from the Lilly Endowment’s $65 million arts and culture READI allocation.
The regional plan is now complete, and we’re excited to share the findings!
Join us for a deep dive into the regional framework, project priorities, and how communities and organizations can prepare for the competitive funding phase ahead. The event will feature a presentation, Q&A, lunch, comments from the Indiana Arts Commission, and time for regional discussion.
