Hanover College is proud to offer another season of outstanding cultural arts events to the Hanover/Madison community and surrounding region. This will be the 60th continuous season in which Hanover College’s Community Arts Series has brought nationally and internationally renowned performing artists and guest speakers to our campus to entertain and enrich the cultural life of southeastern Indiana. The 2012-2013 year promises to continue this historical and rich tradition, and we deeply appreciate the supporting sponsorship of River Valley Financial Bank, the College’s presenting partner in this year’s Community Arts Series.
