On October 4th from 6-9 pm, enjoy these openings:
In the Harrison Gallery, Voyages by Emma Overman. In her acrylic works, Overman views each painting as a journey, embarking with only a faint notion of destination yet embracing the unpredictable twists and turns that creativity brings.
In the Gallery Annex, Seeker by Andrew Perry Davis and Octoberelyce by Elyce Elder. A collaboration exploring the eerie and the ethereal, weaving together mixed media, including paint, embroidery floss, wood, glass, fabric, yarn, and wire, to celebrate the shadowy essence of October.
In the City Gallery, Fruit and Labor by Cierra Johnson. Drawing from a tradition of hand-painted signs in Indianapolis, artist and culture worker Cierra Johnson presents a series of mixed-media pieces and digital illustrations that honor Martindale-Brightwood's history of resistance and resilience.
In the Speck Gallery, REVIVAL by Kipp Normand and Ginny Taylor Rosner. Working in disparate styles across various media, Normand and Rosner each make work that explores similar themes: history, memory, relationships, humanity, and community.
In the Sky Gallery, New Work by Nasreen Khan. This collection of pyrography, oil on wood, and AI-generated art created in collaboration with the artist, is part of a serialized microfiction narrative about ecofeminism and war, created as part of a speculative play residency at IUPUI focusing on public literacy and social media.
In the Underground Gallery, Visual Chronicles, a CompleteLife group exhibit. Artwork created by caregivers, patients, and staff of the IU Health Simon Cancer Center. Each individual piece tells a story of the personal journey of the artist, and this show demonstrates the power of the arts for human connection.
In the Hank & Dolly’s Gallery, MUTATIONS OF THE SAME ESSENCE by Ess McKee. In this exhibition, McKee embarks on a personal exploration of graffiti, translating the essence of street art onto canvas and into 3D installations for the first time.
In the Lift Gallery, Focusing on Highlight by Esayas Zerazion. Through the use of scratchboard, the artist crafts highly detailed portraits of both humans and animals.
