Lotus@30

WFHB and the Lotus Education and Arts Foundation have always shared close ties with each other and the Bloomington community. Our first broadcast hit the airwaves in 1993; Lotus threw its first festival a year later, bringing culture bearers from around the world into various Bloomington venues, including the WFHB studios. Now, a small team of Lotus staff is chronicling those years with the initiative Lotus@30. Project co-managers Jeremy Reed and LuAnne Holladay dropped by the Firehouse to talk about the work they’re doing, institutional memory, and how community members can get involved.

For more information on how to participate in Lotus@30, contact Jeremy Reed at [email protected].
