About the Project

The Muncie Arts & Culture Council (MuncieArts), the City of Muncie's official arts partner, advances public art and cultural experiences throughout the community. Through the Center for Innovation and Collaboration, MuncieArts partners with Ball State's Digital Corps to connect students with real-world storytelling projects that showcase Muncie's cultural assets, expand community engagement, and amplify the impact of local arts initiatives through innovative digital media.

Led by the Muncie Arts & Culture Council and Digital Corps, Art for the People is a storytelling initiative that showcases Muncie's public art through a series of short-form video features. The project highlights the artists, stories, and community impact behind recent public art installations.
