This week on Artworks, summertime heat has the residents of south central Indiana headed for the lakes and pools. They’re also in search of a cool treat to take the edge off of those sweltering afternoons. We’ll visit an ice cream parlor that is bringing back the good old days of sodas and ice cream in a unique setting.
Also on the program, pianist Jonathan Biss talks to us about his upcoming benefit concert as part of the 2009 IU Summer Music Festival.
And WFIU’s Adam Schwartz speaks to a former Indiana University professor who has turned the experience of his mother into a short story.
