The Spirit & Place Festival celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The 10-day festival brings arts, humanities and religion together -- in a variety of programs, performances and conversations. While usually experienced in person, this year's Spirit & Place is going virtual for most of its events.

WFYI’s Jill Ditmire spoke with program director Erin Kelly about the work to create a sense of community online.
