Writerz Block Series
Writerz Block is a project with a series of community writing events and/or workshop activities focused on literary arts in a way to introduce poets, creative writers and authors of various genres to our communities and to increase awareness of Indigenous writers.This series will also provide an outlet to showcase young emerging writers, middle and high school youth grades 6-12 the opportunity to discover their writing voice and who live within marginalized areas.

The Mural Project
On the Chestnut Street side of the gallery building,
an interchangeable mural space is installed.
This space is for The Mural Project.
Throughout the year IPCA will showcase various murals that could tell the community's story, create a unique experience downtown, increase appreciation for the arts and artists, and increase the overall attractiveness of the space.
