On July 3rd, from 6-9 pm, join us for First Friday!
In the Harrison Gallery, Patina by MJ Coyle. Coyle’s abstract paintings explore the intersection of memory, landscape, and imagination through layered color and expressive mark-making. Influenced by his background in design, these suggestive compositions invite viewers to discover their own narratives within shifting forms and terrain.
In the Gallery Annex, Unfettered by Kami Noland. This collection of paintings, drawings, assemblages, housewares, furniture, and clothing reflects Noland’s creative wanderings and resistance to being confined to a single artistic practice. Rooted in freedom, experimentation, and resourcefulness, the work celebrates play, curiosity, and the power of creative expression shaped by both limitation and imagination.
In the Speck Gallery, Take Care by Abby Dennis and Lindsey Lord. This collaborative exhibition transforms discarded and natural materials into intricate artworks through slow, meditative processes, including weaving, papermaking, sewing, and salvaging textiles.
In the City Gallery, Observed, a collection of original oil paintings by Courtland Blade. Blade’s signature style is inspired by recognizable Indianapolis spaces and everyday scenes, along with a few newer pieces that reflect the direction of his studio practice.
In the Underground Gallery, Q. Is this all there is? A. Probably is a series of acrylic paintings by Cameron Omega that explores the idea that two conflicting truths can exist at once. Inspired by Renaissance compositions and monochromatic works by Mark Tansey, the paintings depict scenes from everyday life that feel both mundane and extraordinary.
In the Hank & Dolly’s Gallery, Internal unites the work of the 2026 summer interns of the Harrison Center by showcasing their artistic innovation and creativity. Through various mediums, each intern offers a different perspective and story, highlighting their individuality, while showcasing the transformative power of togetherness.
In the Lift Gallery, Sitting, waiting, watching, dreaming by Brittany Murray. This series of acrylic paintings on canvas explores daydreaming through bright colors and exaggeration. Inspired by quiet moments spent in a yard of dandelions watching storm clouds roll in and pass, each piece captures a soft sense of wonder and imagination.
In the Sky Gallery, IMMERSION by Jason Zickler. In his large-scale epoxy resin and acrylic paintings, Jason Zickler layers saturated neon color beneath glass-like resin, an invitation to step inside the surface. Exploring tension between control and spontaneity, these works transform painting from an object to observe into an atmosphere to experience.
