This Friday from 6-9pm, experience the opening of five new shows, three unique live music sets, a bake sale and mini FoodCon in the gym, and more!
In the Harrison Gallery, Oasis by Israel Solomon. This show is an exploration of refuge, comfort, and renewal. Created during a transition from acrylic to oil paint, these abstract still lifes and dreamlike landscapes embrace intuition. Rather than telling a single story, the work invites viewers to interpret each piece from their experiences and discover an oasis of their own.
In the Gallery Annex, Remnants and Fractures by Quincy Owens. This show comprises two bodies of work that play off of each other, stark black-and-white resin pieces against a group of vivid paintings. Owens seeks to explore how the left and right hemispheres of his brain work together but separately, exploring beauty in fractures and faults.
In the Speck Gallery, What Was Carried, a group show. This exhibition brings together artists who have survived sexual abuse and are sharing their experiences through creative expression. Rather than offering explanations or resolutions, the works create space for honesty, dignity, and healing, demonstrating how art can help transform fragmented experiences into shared stories.
In the City Gallery, Nature in the City by Amy Martin. Martin celebrates the ways nature and urban life coexist in Indianapolis. Through oil paintings and paper and wire sculptures, the exhibition highlights the native plants, insects, trees, waterways, and skies that bring life to the city, instead of opposition.
In the Hank & Dolly’s Gallery, Third Person by Johnny McKee and Kyle Ragsdale. McKee and Ragsdale use the harmony and contrast of their artistic styles to have conversations with each other through a variety of mediums including oil paint and collage. With each pass, the pieces diversify in their exposition and reveal new landscapes, all through an unspoken dialogue.
