Stolen Moments from Home by Stephanie Spay
What if we could learn from being still? What if we pay attention to the mundane and see the beauty in the simple moments of life? Artist Stephanie Spay is deeply inspired by the mundane moments of everyday life. Her paintings give the artist herself and the viewer an opportunity to be present.
Learn more about Stephanie and this exhibit on our blog.
Greatriarch Portraits on 16th Street The six 2022 Greatriarch portraits by Abi Ogle have been hung on the south side of the former Gleaners Food Bank Building. Drive along 16th between the Monon and Andrew J. Brown and enjoy these and 18 other paintings honoring long term neighbors.
The Greatriarch series started in 2018 and remind us that every neighbor has a story that deserves to be heard. 
Welcome, Addy Bartley
Join us in welcoming our newest intern, Addy Bartley. Addy is a senior at Herron High School and is determined to use her last semester of high school to make a lasting impression on the community.
She has been dancing and performing for over a decade and intends to pursue her love of writing and literature.
Addy tells us, "The Harrison Center has helped me truly understand how the arts can affect our city...To meet so many people who share a communal love for the arts- to hear them speak, see them work, show their art- has widened my scope beyond what I ever expected."
Learn more about Addy in our latest blog. 
Embellish by Caleb Smith Who doesn’t love playing dress up? This act of play gives us a chance to exaggerate certain aspects of our personalities. Sometimes, it even allows us to express parts of ourselves that are hidden to others.
The individuals in these photographs each have rich inner-worlds: full of colors, stories, heartbreak, and magic. With the support of local costume designer Stephen Hollenbeck, each was adorned in over-the-top, theatrical apparel that reflects their sense of humor and imagination while telling a surprising story about who they are.
Stay tuned as we share more from this series.
