This fall, the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana (ARTSWIN) announced they would be shutting down at the end of the calendar year due to a loss of levy funding. The organization held gallery exhibits and rooftop live music, while supporting local artists through state grants.

While this is the last Holiday Sale, it's also one of the biggest. Gallery Director Andrea Adams said they’re featuring 37 artists — the most they’ve had.

“It's bittersweet,” Adams said. “I'm sad, but we've had a really good turnout so far, and so that makes me really happy. It brings me joy to get sales for these artists.”

The sale ends December 23, but as of Monday Dec. 8, they’ve already surpassed $6,000 in sales. In 2024 they sold $4,750, in 2023, $3,770.

Our Story

In the late 1950’s, the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation initiated the Southwestern Indiana Educational Television Project, and began producing educational programs at commercial station, WTVW. Later, in the 1960’s, EVSC obtained a license to operate its own station: WNIN.

The station faced troubling times in the 1970’s, even going off air for a brief period of time. But through the help of donations, gifts, and fundraisers from various local supporters, WNIN was brought back to life; WNIN 88.3 FM went on-air in 1982, and two television channels were added in 1991.
