MuncieArts, in conjunction with the Community Foundation of Randolph County, the Indiana Arts Commission, and the Indiana Small Business Development Center, is excited to host Next Level Creative Business Trainings with a focus on the practice and process in public art.

This training is designed for creative practitioners who are interested in expanding their creative practice to the public art sphere for increased employment and economic impact opportunities.
