Indiana Remixed

Celebrating Hoosier Creativity

In Spring 2020 the Bloomington campus will be home to a months-long celebration of the contemporary arts and ideas that shape Indiana today. With an entire semester of performances, film screenings, guest speakers, and exhibits, Indiana Remixed will explore vital questions about the ways we create art, community, and meaning in our state. From nationally acclaimed authors and artists to celebrated chefs and performers, visiting guests will share a diverse array of perspectives and backgrounds united by their common experience of life as Hoosiers.

EVENT POSTPONEMENTS

In accordance with Indiana University’s ongoing response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, all Indiana Remixed events have been postponed through April 6. The Arts & Humanities Council is currently working to reschedule postponed events, and we hope to hold these events later in Spring 2020 or Fall 2020. If you have any questions, please contact us at ahcounc@indiana.edu.
