The Harrison Center office is closed on July 4th in observance of Independence Day. |
On June 7th from 6-9 PM, join us for First Friday! Enjoy these openings: In the Harrison Gallery,
Sender/Receiver by Eric Lubrick. Lubrick’s latest body of work offers a unique exploration of the impact of technology on human connections through the lens of still-life photography, merging natural and man-made elements to evoke a sense of nostalgia for pre-digital socialization.
In the City Gallery, We Live Inside A Dream by Joel Atkinson. In his latest photography series, Atkinson explores unexpected views of city life, focusing on Indianapolis's hidden corners. In the Speck Gallery, tizita by Yeabsera Tabb. Exploring the concepts of memory, nostalgia, and belonging through the lens of tizita (teh-zeh-tah), Tabb delves into the physical and emotional significance of "place" with a blend of printmaking, mixed media, and textiles. In the Underground Gallery, Holy Spirit Flow by Kristin Whitney. Whitney explores and conveys the realm of divine collaboration using acrylics. In the Gallery Annex,
Flora + Terra by William Denton Ray. While many are familiar with William Denton Ray's whimsical characters and abstract work, this series takes a new direction by utilizing flowers and nature as a vehicle for the theme, abstracting the pieces to seem foreign or alien to typical nature.
Online galleries will open on June 8th. Special Senior Hours are every Friday from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm. |
Volunteers help make First Friday happen. We would love your help as a gallery attendant, assisting with serving wine (Indiana Servers license required), or greeting guests. |

The Harrison Center is excited to announce the release of a four-part podcast series by the first fellow of the Polk Fellowship program, Michelle Andrea. This enlightening series has been thoughtfully created to illuminate the impactful work being carried out under the Polk Fellowships and Polklore Micro-Museum. The episodes—titled "The Polk Project," "The Neighbors," "The Museum," and "The Future"—offer a deep dive into the program’s efforts to work closely with the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood.
Through the Polk Fellowship initiative, Harrison Center, neighbors, entrepreneurs, and artists are working together to support the Martindale-Brightwood Quality of LIfe plan goals. Keep following our work for more updates. |

Heya! I'm Jeanette Howard, a graphic design summer intern at the Harrison Center. Currently, I'm a senior majoring in art and design at Hanover College. I enjoy exploring various art forms, but my main passions include creating designs, graffiti art, body art, and more. I discovered the Harrison Center through my school's internship program while searching for an art-related internship. In my free time, I like to draw, sketch, listen to music, and bake desserts. An interesting fact about me is that I absolutely love giving hugs.

| Support the Arts with Crypto & Stocks |
What do Bitcoin and stocks have in common? In addition to both being up since the beginning of the year, they are both ways you can make a gift to the Harrison Center!
If you want to support the arts at the Harrison Center, you can donate more than 95 cryptocurrencies and any kind of stock. When the Harrison Center receives gifts of either crypto or stock, our partners at Engiven at Rockefeller Family Global Office sell the crypto or stock, send us the proceeds, and send you all the documentation you need for tax purposes.
To learn more about how to give cryptocurrency or stock, check our webpage. Have questions, email support@harrisoncenter.org.

Experience the Polklore Micro-Museum through AR |
The Harrison Center's Polklore Micro-Museum in the newly restored COhatch Polk Stables is open for visitors this holiday week from 1-5 on Monday the 1st and 9-5 on Wednesday the 3rd!
The Polklore Micro-Museum celebrates the story of the Polk Dairy and its neighbors and engages the public in a conversation about cultural preservation. For this project, neighbors chose the stories and artifacts to be preserved, and artists wove those artifacts together into an extensive art assemblage installation. Each artifact in the installation can be scanned with a cell phone to access a video of the neighbor telling their story using augmented reality technology.
Take advantage of the opportunity to connect with our community history and schedule your visit online. |
