We were grateful this year to have the Poetry Foundation join our two long-time supporters of our Neighborhood Literary Arts Park Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation and the Grace Family Foundation.

Neighborhood Literary Arts Park

Our goal for the Neighborhood Literary Art Park project is to make engagement with the arts a long-term passion for local youth by providing early, accessible and family-friendly interaction with literary art through FREE workshops in a dedicated space they can easily get to from home or school. In August 2018, we purchased a vacant lot from the City of Indianapolis.

In the summer of 2019, we began to realize this goal! Shown below are some photographs from a past workshop.

Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, workshops for the summer of 2020 were canceled. Instead, we focused our efforts on making capital improvements to the park, while maintaining safety. Workshops resumed in 2022.
