Strengthening Artists. Strengthening Indianapolis.
Since Cierra Johnson became a studio artist in January 2022, she has found that being here has strengthened her art and is now giving her more opportunities to influence her community. And her experiences are just part of the success the Harrison Center had in the past year to fulfill its mission of being for the arts and for the city.
Donors and partners like you make it possible for the Harrison Center to build on the successes of this year and continue to support art, artists, and Indianapolis in 2024.
Strengthening Artists
Studios & Exhibitions
40 studio artists called the Harrison Center home and 440 artists have been shown in our eight galleries in 2023.
Art & Music Residencies
The Harrison Center hosted nine residencies in 2023. Seaux Chill completed his 2022 Joyce Awards project, “Deep Currents.” We sent eight artists to Greece and two to India for residencies.
Storytelling Drawing Sessions
More than 40 stories were shared by community members during Storytelling Drawing Sessions.
