One Art Event a Week: Osso, DM Stith and the BQE at the IMA

Week 33: Osso, DM Stith and Sufjan Stevens' "The BQE" at the Indianapolis Museum of Art I honestly didn’t understand the connection between Osso, DM Stith, and Sufjan Stevens when I paid $10 for a ticket that billed all three acts last week. I just knew I missed my ch… Continue

One Art Event a Week: "Spooner" at Heartland Film Festival

Week 32: Spooner at Heartland Film Festival I rarely go to movies that are sad, violent, or frightening. Forrest Gump bored me to tears and I never saw Titanic because it was played up so much that I was sure it’d be a let-down (and that horrible… Continue

One Art Event a Week: Rain at the IU Auditorium

Week 31 – Rain at IU Auditorium, Bloomington We’ve had tickets for months to see Rain at IU Auditorium in Bloomington.

One Art Event a Week: Sasquatch Lecture and Exhibit

Week 29: Sasquatch Lecture at Central Library and Coinciding Exhibit at Big Car/iMOCA Sasquatch. Bigfoot. Yeti. Harry (from Harry and the Hendersons). Whatever you choose to call them, Sasquatch are an interesting phenomenon in America. Do they exist? Or are they just an ongoing prank played by the wise guys of our species? Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, professor of anthropology from Idaho State University, attempted to answer some of these questions last week at Central Library. I walked into t… Continue

One Art Event a Week: Sculpture Walk

Week 27: Sculpture Walk at University of Indianapolis I love the summer. The fact that we are one full day into the fall makes me sad, only because I know what’s

coming up; months of cabin fever and 10 layers of clothing. So, with only about a mo… Continue

One Art Event a Week: IndyHub's Passport to the Arts

Week 26: IndyHub Passport to the Arts You may not consider this an art event, but I feel the IndyHub Passport to the Arts is something that Smoosiers need to take advantage of! Passport to the Arts provides entrance to one performance of each of the following art organizations during the 2009/2010 season: Dance Kaleidoscope, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Indianapolis Opera, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and Pho… Continue

One Art Event a Week: Press ON Exhibit

Week 25: Press ON exhibit at VSA arts of Indiana’s enROUTE Gallery in the Harrison Center I recently had the pleasure of attending multiple exhibit openings at Harrison Center for the Arts. But there was one exhibit in particular that stood out to me: Press ON at VSA arts of Indiana’s enROUTE Gallery. First, let me tell you a little about VSA arts of Indiana (VSAI). VSAI is a non-profit leader in the movement to make the art… Continue

One Art Event a Week: Collage Party at Big Car

Week 23: Collage Party at Big Car Gallery* I am a big fan of collages. In fact, in high school I used to decoupage random comic book characters, magazine

scraps, and quotes all over little boxes and picture frames and give them as gifts. Mod Podge and I? We’re thisclose. So when my friend April told me about the… Continue

One Art Event a Week: The Ricci Family Band

Week 22: The Ricci Family Band at Muddy Boots in Nashville, Indiana Traveling down a scenic winding road, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect of a venue called Muddy Boots in Nashville, Indiana.

One Art Event a Week: 48 Hour Film Project

Week 21: 48 Hour Film Project, produced by Big Car Gallery at the IMA's Tobias Theatre What do you get when you cross 30 filmmaking teams, a ball, and a mad dash to finish a film in 48 hours? Films with crazy, fun, often hilarious results! Last week, my friends and I attended the the 48 Hour Film Project screening, a nation-wide filmmaking event whe… Continue

One Art Event a Week: Circle the City race for the ISO

Week 20: Circle the City 5K race benefitting the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra It's not that often that one gets to attend an art event that also provides a good work-out. It's also not often that an art event is tied in with a sport. However, on Saturday I participated in the Circle the City 5K race that benefitted the Indianapolis Symphony Orc… Continue

One Art Event a Week: Dance Kaleidoscope

Week 18: Dance Kaleidoscope's "All That Jazz" at the IRT I have been attending art events; really, I have! I went to First Fridays on July 3 and the King Tut exhibit at the Children’s Museum on July 9. But I just haven’t had a chance to write about these events. So after a mini-break, I’m back in the saddle. On Thursday night, Adam and I went to see Dance Kaleidoscope’s “All That Jazz” performance at the… Continue
