On June 6th, from 6-9pm, join us for an evening of art and community!
Along with activities and entertainment for the whole family, enjoy these openings:
In the Harrison Gallery, CYCLO by Mailinh Hồ. In this exhibition, Mailinh Hồ presents an array of soft oil paintings and vibrant watercolors as personal reflections. Snapshots of memories, musings on nostalgia and an imagined future come together to ask, “Where are you going and where are you from?” Like a dog chasing its tail, we look behind us and keep on running.
In the Gallery Annex, Backlogged Dreams by Kaylan Buteyn. Buteyn explores memory and the unconscious through textiles, mixed media, and watercolor. Drawing on imagery from her childhood log cabin home, she pieces together fabric, paint, and mark-making in layered compositions that reflect how memories distort and evolve.
In the Speck Gallery, Visual Rhythms by Mike Meares. This collection of acrylic paintings explores the energy of music through layers of line and color. Inspired by the emotions and complexity of song, Meares creates spontaneous works shaped by the rhythms and melodies he listens to. The process reflects the transformative power of music, inviting viewers to experience the emotional depth of sound through visual art.
In the City Gallery, Alternate Route by Phillip Lynam. In this exhibition, Lynam presents paintings and drawings that reflect the quiet beauty found in the light, structure, and geometry of Indianapolis. Working primarily with acrylic, graphite, and colored pencil on panel and paper, Lynam captures fleeting urban moments through a subtle, observational lens.
In the Hank & Dolly’s Gallery, Hanging by a Thread by Liz Hamstra. This vibrant collection plays with the tension between symmetry, asymmetry, and color. Using acrylic and thread on canvas, the artist weaves a kaleidoscopic world where shapes and patterns collide. The embroidery thread adds depth and texture, enhancing the dynamic relationship between the geometric elements and the chaotic landscapes of color.
In the Underground Gallery, Liminal Wonder by Liz Nelson. Liminal Wonder explores beauty in overlooked spaces and moments of transition. Using acrylic and mixed media on wood and canvas, the artist highlights how line, form, and color reveal joy in the mundane and potential in the in-between. Each piece invites quiet reflection and appreciation for subtle shifts that shape our surroundings.
