Saturday, September 26
1:00pm - 3:00pm

Help us commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States by adding your contribution to a collaborative art project. Each project invites reflection on civic life and the shared American experience.

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

This branch has served the Irvington community since 1903 when the Bona Thompson Library was donated to Butler College and soon became a public library branch. Following relocations in 1914 and 1921, a new facility was built on East Washington Street in 1956 and named for Irvington’s distinguished citizen, Hilton U. Brown. The Brown Branch closed its doors in 2001 to make way for the current 16,000-square-foot Irvington Branch that opened later that year.
