Rescatados, a Tribute by Henry Garcia |
Detailed portraits of furry and canine pets dot the walls of Hank and Dolly’s Gallery, artwork created with an unusual medium: dry-erase markers. In his first solo exhibition, Rescatados, self-taught artist Henry Garcia introduces viewers to the beloved rescue pets that have shaped his and his family's lives.
Rescatados, translates to "rescued," and is a moving tribute to all the pets his family rescued and loved, both past and present. Garcia calls us to pay greater attention to and love the rare and wonderful animal world, from exotic jungles to the ordinary, everyday streets around our homes.

An Outing to Remember at the State Fair |
We had a wonderful time with our Greatriarch program this past Thursday at the Indiana State Fair! Highlights included an engaging Storytelling Drawing Session with guest James Whitfield, exploring portraits of Greatriarchs past and present, featuring a new series by artist Tashema Davis, and waving like royalty in the end-of-day parade for the second year in a row.
As the Harrison Center continues its work in Martindale-Brightwood, the Greatriarchs have been invaluable advisors, helping us stay rooted in the community’s history and spirit. Their stories and wisdom keep the neighborhood’s legacy alive, and we always enjoy time spent with them! |
