Exciting things are happening in Ripley County!
Ripley County Economic Development and SEI READI have partnered with Sarah Peterson Consulting and SIRPC to create a regional Arts & Culture Plan—made possible by funding from the Lilly Endowment. This initiative is all about driving creative transformation through public art and cultural investment across our region.
We recently held our Ripley County public meeting on June 18th at The Tanglewood, and it was a wonderful success! A big thank you to Holly Wehr for generously hosting us in her beautiful venue.
And thank you to everyone who came out to share your thoughts, ideas, and dreams—we’re inspired by your passion for the arts in our community!
