On today’s show I sat down with Jason Myers, a world-renowned multidisciplinary artist, and Tag Birge, a local business leader and philanthropist.

Our conversation revolves around the resurgence of art and culture in Broad Ripple – a neighborhood located at 62nd Street between College Avenue and Keystone Avenue in Indianapolis – focusing on Myers' new sculpture, Gavin-Divergence.

We discuss the significance of art in community and economic development, the role of public-private partnerships and collaboration needed to bring public art to life, and future projects aimed at revitalizing Broad Ripple.

You are going to learn about:

• The Revitalization of Art and Culture in Broad Ripple

• The Significance of Art in Community Development

• Broad Ripple’s Newest Sculpture Gavin-Divergence and Future Projects

Thank you to our partners:
