Indianapolis-based artist Jim Walker will share prompts and questions with visitors to encourage sharing hopes, dreams, and visions. In addition to recording their voices, visitors will have the option to use digital and analog tools (everything from a laptop to a salt shaker) to team up with Walker to create accompanying soundscapes for their words. The completed brief audio pieces will air on the Indianapolis art and community radio station, WQRT 99.1 FM, and be available online with QR code access via signage and small displays in library branches.

In memory of Ken McCune by Karen McCune.

About the branch

What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
