Welcome To Edinburgh
Graduate student Jack Bassett produced a short video on the topic of the 2024 total solar eclipse for Susanne Schwibs’ Media Production Practicum. The video was screened at the Eclipse Symposium at the Gayle Karch Cooke Center in Maxwell Hall.
Edinburgh, Indiana’s downtown now dons an official welcome to its town thanks to a unique community-centric art initiative that encapsulates its history, landscape, and legacy. With the support of a grant from Indiana University’s Center for Rural Engagement, local leaders with the Drybread Foundation commissioned a postcard-style mural that spells out Edinburgh with each letter showcasing a different facet of the town. On the day of the solar eclipse, community members left their mark on the mural coloring in flowers – ultimately helping Edinburgh residents feel apart and connected to this art display.
