Ohio Valley Creative Energy

The proposed OVCE Sustainable Arts & Education Center will be located near the Clark-Floyd landfill in Southern Indiana and will be powered by its excess methane. This renewable energy source, along with other alternative energies, will be used to power clay, glass, and metal studios, a gallery, a greenhouse, and an education center.

OVCE has partnered with the Clark County Commissioners and Hoosier Energy to develop the first community & commercial landfill gas development partnership in the US at the Clark-Floyd Landfill. Hoosier Energy´s 2 MW electricity generation project provides “green’ energy for over 1200 Southern Indiana homes.

Our Vision is to transform the local ecology of the landfill through an eco-vention, or an artist initiated project that will involve the entire community in turning an eyesore of a landfill into a resource for our community. In doing this, we hope to inspire each visitor to consider and recognize their individual ability to have a positive impact on the earth, in our community, and the health and well being of all.

Each one of us can lead by example, inspiring others how they can do their part to preserve our earths resources for future generations.

We Must be the Change we Wish to See in the World. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
