Have an opinion on arts and culture? We want to hear from you! We are so excited to be partnering with Public Sphere Projects to update IGNITE the Region: A Regional Strategy for Economic Transformation in Northwest Indiana! The 2025 update is focused on integrating arts, culture, tourism, and sustainability into the existing economic transformation strategy for the seven-county region, which includes Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton, Jasper, Pulaski, and Starke counties. Now is your chance to shape the future of Northwest Indiana, ensuring that creativity, community, and culture are at the heart of the region’s economic transformation. Join the conversation, share your ideas, and help us create a strategy that ignites the full potential of Northwest Indiana’s creative sector at one of our upcoming IGNITE Arts & Culture Community Open Houses! #nwiforum #IGNITEtheregion #EconomicDevelopment #communityopenhouse #artsandculture
