Arts Day at the Statehouse











My assistant, Dalesse Bowles, and I traveled to Indianapolis for Arts Day at the Statehouse. This is a cross section of various arts organizations and Regional partners who display what they do and meet with our legislators. We were delighted when our own Jasperite, Rep. Mark Messmer, stopped by to talk with us. Mark is a musician himself as well has having several talented members in his family.








Guest speakers included another Jasperite, State Poet Laurette, Norb Krapf who recited a wonderful poem about Payton Manning. We had entertainment from some other wonderful Indiana artists and enjoyed networking with many of our arts partners. If you haven't visited our statehouse, you ought to take an opportunity to visit this beautiful building. And..don't forget to stop by your legislator's office to tell them how important the arts are to your community.
