INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus on Monday visited James Whitcomb Riley School in Indianapolis and provided students with a chance to explore music and video production.
The visit included access to a mobile recording studio and a $10,000 grant to support Indianapolis Public Schools’ only visual and performing arts elementary school music program and enhance the creative experience for its students.
Bryce Quig-Hartman, senior producer of the bus, said, “Arts programs are being cut all across the nation, and the bus is really here to supplement what’s inevitably going to be cut.”
Indianapolis was the third stop on the educational bus tour.
IPS says James Whitcomb Riley School No. 43 has also benefited from a $5.5 million investment for new arts facilities, including a dance studio, an orchestra room, and a stage.
