Conversation With Caleb Caudell 

Article by Emily Mellentine, Indiana Authors Awards 

We recently spoke with Caleb Caudell, author of The Neighbor and numerous short fiction and nonfiction pieces published online, and Novelty and Other Short Stories, which is forthcoming this summer.

Caudell’s debut novel, The Neighbor, was selected for our 2022 Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Awards shortlist in the debut category. It was published in 2021 by Bonfire Books and is available in local bookstores and online.

An artist’s guide to financial planning

Excerpt of an article by Lewis Weil, The Creative Independent

Money is weird. Our brains really aren’t built for dealing with it, because our minds actually haven’t adapted that much from our days running away from tigers and hunting for berries to gorge on. We’re good at thinking about lunch, or about our chances of catching the bus if we leave right now. We think linearly—one thing after the other. Money isn’t linear, though. Money grows and shrinks exponentially.

2024 solar eclipse initiative to support arts, and cultural activities in rural Indiana

A new initiative launched by the Indiana University Center for Rural Engagement will help rural Indiana communities host arts and cultural events and activities related to the 2024 solar eclipse.

With funding support from the Simons Foundation, the Center for Rural Engagement will facilitate rural engagement for IU’s solar eclipse initiative, providing staff support, resources and outreach for community activities — with a focus on arts and culture — that unite residents around the historic astronomical event.

Organizations in communities with populations less than 50,000 can also apply for micro-grants up to $2,000 to support the implementation of eclipse activities. Regional Opportunity Initiatives is acting as the fiscal agent for the grant program and will provide technical assistance to facilitate the eclipse micro-grant program.
