IBXarts moves forward despite set back

Last quarter we had announced plans for a new HQ within the Historical Shelz Silent Movie theater in Downtown Columbia.  The space was slated to be working studio space, a gallery area and a central space to host business workshops for developing an artistic economy.
 Unfortunately Rural Center Grant funds were denied for the project. 
As formerly stated:
It is no coincidence that IBXarts has grown so quickly and with so much enthusiasm. I believe that this is in part due to the time of citizens wanting to respond to the economy in a responsible way, and in part the need to express ourselves in a creative way and get back in touch with what is important.

Many challenges lie ahead as IBXarts moves forward in the spirit of service to empower artists to sustain their households and bring viable growth to our Inner Banks towns.

Get behind us, pray for us, help us to help you,
Our Blessings, Tom Kilian
