Arts Place hosts concerts, exhibits

Plans are in place for a variety of local arts events.

The Jay County Campus of Arts Place will host a pair of concerts and multiple art exhibits in the coming weeks.

The pair of summer concerts kicks off with Motown Sounds of Touch at 7 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Hudson Family Park amphitheater. New Frontiers, a Journey tribute band, will perform at 7 p.m. Sept. 14.

Both concerts are free.

The Works by Lindsay Edwards exhibit in the Weaver Community Gallery closes Friday, with a display of photos by Jackie Comstock to begin Monday. In the Hugh N. Ronald Gallery, the “Sisters Exhibit” by Sarah, Allison and Rachel Hess runs through Aug. 27.

Also, registration for fall MusicWorks classes will open in mid-August, with classes scheduled to begin Sept. 5.

Campaign underway

As the 2023-24 school year gets underway, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute has more than 200 law enforcement agencies participating in its Stop Arm Violation Enforcement (SAVE) campaign.

The campaign, funded through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, adds patrols looking for stop-arm violations, speeding and other forms of reckless driving around school buses and in school zones.

In April, a one-day observational survey found 2,091 stop-arm violations in Indiana.
