Rural Arts Series

The series originated in partnership with three regional communities (Huntingburg, Nashville, and Salem) around the arts and included performances by university groups (music, dance, and theatre); exhibits and screenings (from campus archives, museums, and cinema); humanities and intellectual programs (focusing on topics such as regional history, religion, and literature); as well as initiatives to assist local arts groups with arts administration; education and mentoring; and community development, placemaking, and capacity building. Counties involved include Dubois, Brown, and Washington, with additional programming in Orange and Ripley counties.
