The Indiana Arts Commission recently joined with representatives from Fort Wayne Dance Collective and South Wayne Elementary School to recognize the completion of a three-year arts education project at the school.
South Wayne Elementary School and their partner organization, Fort Wayne Dance Collective, have been part of the IAC's Partnering Arts, Communities, and Education (PACE) grant program that will conclude at the end of this school year. The project introduced arts-based programming into classroom learning designed to improve the students' literacy achievement.
A short program including a dance performance was shared with the public May 6 in honor of the occasion. See local news coverage and a portion of the program here.

In our last issue, we provided an update on four bills in the Indiana General Assembly with potential impact to Indiana's creative industry and one bill related to tourism. At that time, all but two of the bills were considered dead for this session. With the current session now over, here is an update on the remaining bills with potential creative industry impact:
Senate Bill 255, Cultural District Development. The bill passed unanimously out of the Senate, has moved to the Indiana House where it was assigned to the Government and Regulatory Reform Committee where it did not receive a hearing. The bill died before the end of session.
House Bill 1115, Tourism Development. The bill passed unanimously by the House and referred to the Indiana Senate where it was assigned to the Senate Commerce and Technology Committee. The bill passed from committee, was approved unanimously by the full Senate, returned to the House without amendments, and has been signed by the Governor.
