Enter Into the Story of Forgotten Graces |
Do you ever feel the warmth of the sun through a window, see fireflies in a friend’s backyard, or catch a whiff of something so distinguishable that you’re taken back to a precise moment in your life? That’s what Kevin West’s exhibition Forgotten Graces is all about—the power of a moment.
In Forgotten Graces, West depicts moments that represent the little gifts that go unnoticed as we’re living them, those we lump into the mundanity and routine of life. As viewers walk through the gallery, West hopes they remember their own Forgotten Graces and recognize just how profound they truly are.

Peer Through the Lens with Quintin Griffin |
Quintin Griffin has been capturing the world through a camera lens since holding his first Polaroid camera in the early 70's. His skill and interest have only evolved through the years and brought him to where he is now–pursuing photography with his Canon Rebel digital camera.
Griffin’s black-and-white photography captures his daily life; many images are of Indianapolis, Richmond, and other places across Indiana where he spends his time. “It's my hope that the viewer takes a true look at the photos and places themselves in these spaces of the familiar and the unfamiliar,” says Griffin about his photography.

| Honoring Legacy in a Residency |
"For the past 48 hours, I’ve spent time learning about Joe & Rozzetta Cumberlander and the impact they had on Indianapolis through Joe’s Fish Market. Joe’s Fish Market was more than good food; it was a beacon of light for the community. From employment and feeding kids to supporting Douglass Little League, their impact had a wide reach.
It was an honor to learn about Joe and Rozzetta’s story and seek to honor their legacy through song." Read the full blog and listen to the song here.
