Facing Depression in East Central Indiana is an affiliate of The Facing Project, a national organization that connects people through stories to strengthen communities. Founded in Muncie, Indiana, in 2012, The Facing Project has led three other projects in Muncie that debuted at Muncie Civic Theatre: Facing Poverty in Delaware County (2012), Facing Autism in Muncie (2013), and Facing Disabilities in East Central Indiana (2014). 

Shaun Dingwerth’s book, The Richmond Group Artist, tells the untold story of a group of artists whose interest in fostering art in their community made an authentic contribution to the history of art in America. Taking for their subjects the local people, flora, and landscapes, they developed a distinctive impressionistic style, uninfluenced by other art movements in Indiana. Richmond, Indiana, became an important center for art in the Midwest. Reception and book signing to follow program.
