The Kurt Vonnegut Museum is opening at November 9 at 543 Indiana Avenue.
One of the fun things about creating something new is the
opportunity to “put your personal stamp on it.”

One of our permanent exhibitions
focuses on Freedom of Expression. As
such, we are offering “The Free Speech 50.” Fifty donors
(individuals or corporations) contribute $500 each to support the creation of
the first phase of this important educational exhibition and the monthly free
speech programming.

The names of the donors will be displayed within the exhibit
and highlighted in future newsletters and select event programs.

So join us! Call Julia Whitehead at (317) 652-1954 to learn how you can make history by contributing to this important exhibition. If you prefer, sign up at https://kvlmstaging.wpengine.com/support/make-a-donation/, or complete this form and mail it with a check or credit card info to KVML at:
