FROM THE INDIANA ARTS COMMISSION
Artists' Needs Assessment Results and New Programming Webinar
Beginning in the fall of 2023, the Indiana Arts Commission launched a statewide Artist Needs Assessment. The assessment consisted of two core components: (1) eleven in-person facilitated listening sessions across Indiana with artists of a variety of backgrounds and (2) a subsequent public survey based on listening session feedback that was disseminated statewide. The Indiana Arts Commission has evaluated the results of the Artist Needs Assessment and is now ready to share findings and outline future programming and services for Indiana artists that is directly informed by the feedback.

TERRE HAUTE PLEIN AIR PAINTING GROUP forming
Hello Artists,
You are invited to come Plein Air painting with a newly forming group.
Some of the artists (currently 3 of us) who participated in the William Turman Plein Air Event put on by the Swope Art Museum will meet at the Maple Avenue Nature Park, to paint for 2-3 hours.
To confirm next meeting contact: pleinairth.draw456@passinbox.com
Our ideas about the activities of the group after that are:
1. A group would meet regularly, possibly weekly
2. Choice of venue would be rotated amongst attendees
3. It would be the same time each week, currently Friday mornings, 8-11 am
4. You could arrive and leave at any time during that time.
5. All experience levels are welcome; come and get tips from others--we can all help each other!

Educating Rita (Romantic Comedy)
By Willy Russell
Rated PG-13
November 8, 9, & 10, 2024
Directed by: Dalton Boyles
Frank is a tutor of English in his fifties whose disillusioned outlook on life drives him to drink and bury himself in his books. Enter Rita, a forthright 26-year-old hairdresser who is eager to learn. After weeks of cajoling, Rita slowly wins over the very hesitant Frank with her innate insight and refusal to accept no for an answer. Their relationship as teacher and student blossoms, ultimately giving Frank a new sense of self and Rita the knowledge she so craves.

ABOUT THE PLAY:
Will is a freshman at Watson college. Jordan is a senior film major. Tyler is writing a novel for his thesis. They are all members of the Men’s Peer Education group. At meetings they spend hours unpacking questions like: “what is male privilege? And what can we do about it?” They love each other and the group. Until some accusatory posters start appearing around campus suggesting that a member of the group committed sexual assault. Could it be that even sensitive guys, guys working on their privilege sometimes turn violent or aggressive? In this play women and gender non-conforming people play men trying to understand the intricacies of masculinity and violence.
