AUBURN â A celebration of Auburnâs Art District at 6th and Main streets will take place Tuesday, May 25.
âI couldnât be more proud to see this entire project come to full fruition. Creating an art culture at 6th and Main will impact our community for years to come,â said Ann Finchum, executive director of the Auburn Main Street organization that promotes downtown.
In the fall of 2019, Auburn Main Street launched a fast-paced crowdfunding campaign with the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. Within 60 days AMS exceeded its goal of $20,000, which IHCDA matched for downtown murals and new downtown banners.
To the editor:
Auburn Main Street (AMS) and the Downtown Auburn Business Association (DABA) are extending a huge thank you to our community members for the support of our sixth annual âWe Love Auburn Month.â We are excited to report we had a record number of participants this year.
We are thankful for our community really coming together during the month of February and continuing the momentum of celebrating Auburn. Such success could not have been done without the generous annual sponsorship we received from Beacon Credit Union, DeKalb Visitors Bureau, Tempus Technologies, City of Auburn, Ambassador Enterprises, Auburn Hardwood Moldings and Credent Wealth Management.
