Two years after the launch of The Cleo Bailey Experiment, which kicked off just as the pandemic hit, Zephaniah and Whitney Smith have seen more than a little progress at the facility.
The goal of purchasing an old school on Anderson's East Side and turn it into a vibrant community center, is a few steps closer to reality, with the community garden in place (and expanding), a commuity art project which inspires creativity in the neighborhood while engaging local artists.
The Cleo Bailey Experiment aims to breathe new life into the community as a hub or activity and services for neighbors, families and children.
