“Details in the Details” by Madiha Siraj in the Harrison Gallery. This exhibit features large-scale installations and polymer clay sculptural work in bright, playful colors and patterns.
“Locus” by Phillip Lynam in the Annex Gallery. This collection of textural acrylic paintings creates pictorial space by the juxtaposition of textures and formal elements in geometric shapes and forms.
“The Forgiving Sea Project” by Carolyn Springer in the Speck Gallery. This series features various mediums of pastel and encaustic centered around the manifestation of forgiveness.
“Amidst Covid” by Courtland Blade in the City Gallery. This work is a reflection of the city and his personal experience as we shifted into and out of isolation and distancing.
New work by Kwazar Martin in the Hank & Dolly’s Gallery. The artist brings us a show featuring “Street Art mixed with Portrait Art” acrylic and aerosol mediums.
Complete Life group show in the Underground Gallery. The artwork is created by caregivers, patients, and staff of the IU Health Simon Cancer Center. Each individual art piece tells a story of the personal journey of the artist, and this show demonstrates the power of the arts for human connection.
