A sculpture along a walk. A rhythm you make together. A stage for moments that belong to all of us.
Unity Park’s vision puts public art, music and performance in the flow of everyday life. Creativity becomes part of how people walk, play, gather and discover.
The goal is an outdoor destination where the arts feel welcoming and close at hand, connecting local people with new reasons for others to discover Vandalia.
An open-air pavilion and amphitheater create a setting for people to come together. Community performances and student showcases are possibilities for future programming.

Start an arts-support conversationThe project summary imagines student showcases, community music, outdoor theater, art walks and arts learning with Kaskaskia College. These are potential future uses, not an announced program or artist call.
Share your interest in future creative collaborations. No open commission, application process or selection commitment is announced.
Everyday encounters with sound, color and form could make a visit meaningful with or without a scheduled event.
Discuss potential support for sculpture, music, artist commissions, interpretive displays, art walks or performance infrastructure.
Individuals, businesses and foundations can begin a conversation with the YMCA about the arts vision. Specific projects, budgets, recognition and the suitability of any restricted gift require YMCA review.
