We the Many Perry
In 2019, Perry was selected as one of just three communities in the Midwest to take part in a pilot program, We the Many, coordinated by Arts Midwest, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and in partnership with the Indiana Arts Commission, Iowa Arts Council, and South Dakota Arts Festival.
The project sought to use creativity, empathy, and optimism to support the three towns in building new bridges within and beyond their communities, expanding the understanding of what it means to be a Midwesterner through the creative exchange of voices, cultures, and ideas.

We the Many of Perry: A Lively Evening of Music and True Stories was one of several art programs to celebrate the people and places of Perry. The evening event in June 2021 was a chance for both novice and expert storytellers to share their reflections on life in and beyond Perry, Iowa. These stories were months in the making, guided by artist in residence Erik Dominguez.
