This Friday from 6-9 pm, join us for an epic gallery opening including six new shows, literary festivities in the gym, live cello music in the Harrison Gallery, and the best of Indy's creative community.
In the Harrison Gallery, Dust by Jay Parnell. This collection of oil paintings on wood panel serves as a meditation on our own ephemerality. We exist in a constant state of shedding and becoming, intimately connected to the debris we attempt to sweep away. By rendering the invisible visible, Parnell’s art challenges the perception of dust as something to be cleared, reframing it instead as a poetic archive of existence and a quiet monument to passing time.
In the City Gallery, Tending by Morgan Binkerd. In her latest body of work, Binkerd reflects on the creative act of building a life, drawing parallels between her personal journey in Indianapolis and her art-making practice. Through her work, including paintings on sycamore tree bark, she explores the unseen labor of nurturing life, embodying the vital acts of care and transformation inherent in both nature and creativity.
In the Gallery Annex, Inner Peace on a Budget by Yasha Persson. Through this collection, Yasha explores the noble, ridiculous quest for Satori on a dime. By stitching together antique illustrations, forgotten typography, and weathered scraps of history, these two-dimensional collages prove that you don't need a golden temple to find illumination-just a pair of scissors, a decent bargain bin, and a heavy dose of satire.
In the Speck Gallery, LAHI: Weaving Filipino American Stories in Indiana, co-curated by Jingo M. de la Rosa and April Knauber. This group exhibition brings together artists from across Indiana in celebration of Filipino American History Month. Through new and existing works exploring identity, ancestry, immigration, community, and cultural preservation, the artists convey the complexity, resilience, and joy of the Filipino American experience.
In the Underground Gallery, Rust and Star Dust, a CompleteLife group exhibit. Artwork created by caregivers, patients, and staff of the IU Health Simon Cancer Center. Each individual piece tells a story of the personal journey of the artist, and this show demonstrates the power of the arts for human connection.
In Hank & Dolly’s Gallery, The Oneironauts by Merle Pace. Comprising 24 ceramic sculptures, this exhibition takes its name from the Ancient Greek term for "dream travelers," inviting viewers into a space between waking and dreaming.
