Growing The Arts

L.E. McCullough has been involved in Arts-Growing since 1973, when he was first hired to help organize a small, local old-time fiddlers’ festival in Battle Ground, Indiana.

That event — Indiana Fiddlers Gathering — is still thriving today.

And so is L.E. McCullough’s career as a consultant and planner who offers a half century of knowledge, skills and experience to help your organization or community grow the Arts you need and deserve.
