Salvador Dali A Rare Opportunity to View an Original Collection by

is Coming to Zionsville Writer // Janelle Morrison

Behind the familiar surrealistic paintings of melted timepieces and the fantastic etchings of Salvador Dali are tales of a fascinating man and celebrated artist. This month a rare and private collection of Dali’s art, known as the Dali Argillet Collection, is coming to Zionsville.

ccompanying the collection is one of its curators who happens to have been a longtime friend of Dali’s, Madame Christine Argillet. Not only will Argillet be sharing her amazing collection of Dali’s art, but also her unique stories and perspectives about a man and his art she knew well since she was a child. Her memories will bring Dali’s art to life for attendees of this spectacular exhibit. Argillet has been touring across North America with this collection that she inherited from her father, Pierre Argillet, an accomplished journalist, photographer, and publisher of Dali’s for more than three decades. This museum-quality pre-

sentation of original etchings, Aubusson tapestries and original watercolors has also toured in galleries around the world, including a recent show in Singapore. The collection’s next stop will be at CV Art and Frame in downtown Zionsville. Excited to share this renowned collection with her clients and local art enthusiasts, the owner of CV Art and Frame, Barbara Jennings, spoke about what it means to exhibit such an extraordinary collection of art in her gallery. “After spending over 30 years in the art business, beginning with bringing a distinctive level of quality, custom framing to Zionsville, it is rewarding to become recognized for the phenomenal level of

Carmel_2017_May_Dali_Exhibit.indd 1

2017-04-21 10:36 AM

artwork that we are now presenting,” Jennings said. “I have always enjoyed being able to provide artwork by today’s most talented artists to our clients, but to be able to give art collectors the ability to acquire truly authentic, original works by master artists is deeply satisfying. I am enthused to meet and spend time with Salvador Dali’s close friend and confidante, Madame Argillet, who will be curating this upcoming show with us. And what a bonus to also be able to offer works by the other Spanish Masters Picasso and Miro.” We were granted an exclusive interview with Argillet where she shared the intimate history of her father’s relationship with Dali as well as her own personal memories of the man whose collection she curates. In 1934, Dali met Pierre Argillet with whom he began a friendship that spanned five decades. Argillet became Dali’s friend, confidante, and publisher. They created the Dali Argillet Collection that art historians have termed “the finest bodies of the Master’s Art.” The Argillet Collection is unequivocally the most authenticated collection of Dali’s work. The Pierre Argillet Collection demonstrates high standards of quality, and the works have appeared in some of the world’s most prestigious museums: Musee Boymans, Rotterdam; Musee Pushkin, Moscow; The Dali Museum, St. Petersburg, Florida; Kunsthaus Zurich and Staatsgalarie, Stuttgart; Isetan Museum of Art, Tokyo; Daimaru Art Museum, Osaka and Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of Art, Japan. The collection’s permanent home is at the Museum of Surrealism in Melun, France, and the Dali Museum in Figueres, Spain. Madame Argillet describes this exhibition as “A tribute to the work of my father, Pierre Argillet, as an extraordinary publisher of the Dada and Surrealist group. This collection reflects a constant endeavor and a close collaboration with the artists of these two movements, especially Salvador Dali. My goal is to have this collection presented in the finest museums and galleries in the world.”

Pierre Argillet-The Publisher Pierre Argillet was an avid collector of works by Futurists, Dadaists and Surrealists, meeting with the major artists of the 20th century. Argillet commissioned Dali to illustrate: Greek Mythology; Hippies; Poems by Ronsard; Secret Poems by Guillaume Apollinaire – 1967; Poems by Mao Tse Tung; The Venus in Fur by Sacher Masoch; and Faust of Goethe. Dali’s delirious vision led to a long and fruitful collaboration between artist and publisher resulting in almost 200 etchings. “My father was born in 1910 and was from a humble family,” Argillet said. “He had a strong taste for literature and philosophy. My grandmother sent him to study in Paris where he was exposed to the arts. He connected with the surrealists, and when the Second World War arrived, many artists went to New York. In the mid-1950s, many artists returned to Paris, and he reconnected with many of the surrealists. He worked with some of them before he met Dali. My father had such a wonderful friendship with Dali,” Argillet recalled. “He put aside working with other artists and worked only with Dali which was quite unusual for a publisher at that time.” Argillet described the process of her father and Dali’s commissioned work and how the limited technology, the geographical distance between them, and Dali’s spontaneous behavior would sometimes create conflict between the two men. “Dali would call my father in Paris and to get a line between Spain and France would take up to six to eight hours,” she said. “My father would stand next to the telephone and wait to be connected. Dali would tell my father that he had his commissioned plates ready and my father would immediately run to the train station and take the next train to the south of France. He would then drive to Dali’s house which was very close to the French border. He would arrive at Dali’s home only to find that Dali had sold the plates to a couple passing through. He would then tell my father, who was furious, that ‘I will do you a better print.’ This happened a couple of times throughout their relationship.”

Salvador Dali and Pierre Argillet

Dali and Pierre Argillet During her summer vacations, Argillet and her parents would stay near Dali’s home for two months while Dali worked on his commissioned pieces for Pierre Argillet. For fifteen years, this was how Christine Argillet spent her summer breaks and over the years became close to Dali and his wife, Gala. Argillet developed a priceless collection of memories that she shares with interested enthusiasts along her tour. It is often said in the art world that: “Salvador Dali was the creative genius…and Pierre Argillet was the publishing genius.” In 1974, Dali and Argillet decided to end their professional relationship but remained close friends until Dali’s death in 1989. “My father and Dali had some incredible projects together, even after my father stopped publishing for him,” Christine Argillet stated. “My father organized Dali’s first exhibition in Moscow in 1988.” Despite the Kremlin’s rejection of Dali’s politics and the nature of his art, hundreds gathered in lines outside of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts to see 200 pieces of Dali’s work.

Dali in the Eyes of Christine “Dali, from the very early age of three or five, was already an artist who drew in a magnificent way,” she shared. “He had grown up with a very sophisticated and cultural background in Spain. At the age of nineteen, he was already exhibiting in

galleries next to Goya and Picasso. Dali had a fantastic imagination and creativity. He linked his childhood and bad memories in his work. They did not stop him but were tools in his creativity. He had a very unusual imagination and expression of dreams. He would often paint with a brush with one hair. So, he had this fabulous tool and he had the imagination. At the age of 30, he already had solo exhibitions and had his first solo exhibition in New York in 1934.” Argillet describe Dali as being very dependent on his wife, Gala, who would say that “Outside of drawing and painting, he doesn’t know how to do anything else in life.”

“His wife had been a very important person in his life and in his own words he would say, ‘I would have never survived without her,’” Argillet said. “He was absolutely unable to take care of himself to the extent that when she became ill and passed away, he became ill and couldn’t take care of himself. He passed away in 1989. Gala was the structure in their relationship.” Argillet said that Dali was very much a “prankster” with a contagious sense of humor that is often found in his work. As guests would enter the living room, they would notice a long silver stick and a turtle on the floor with an ashtray on its back. Dali’s “moving ashtrays” were always a hit. “In his work, there is imagination, but there is also a lot of humor and freedom,” she said. “We tend to forget the humor in his work,” Argillet emphasized. “Humor helps a lot of things, and it is a very elegant way to say difficult things. He also included different cultures in his pieces. He liked to put different cultures together, have them meet and correspond.”

Exhibiting in Indiana Argillet pays homage to her father’s wish of showing the Dali Argillet Collection “in places where they are unexpected.” “My father passed away in 2000 at the age of 92,” she shared. “I wasn’t quite sure what to do with the collection. You never own art. It is something that you enjoy in life and it accompanies you on your journey. I would like some of the collection to be in good museums and, of course, I will keep some, but I like to share the collection, and I feel very happy to do this. Instead of having them in a vault where nobody would seem them, I am following my father’s advice to show the collection in places that is not always expected and where people can connect with our collection which is part of a body of Dali’s work that is not as well known.” The collection will be on exhibit from May 6-14. Appearances by Madame Christine Argillet on May 12th and 13th are complimentary, but require an RSVP. For more information on the upcoming Dali Argillet Collection exhibit schedule at CV Art and Frame, email info@cvartandframe.com or call 317-873-2976.

Enter into a Collaborative Agreement Recently, Carmel Monthly and Good Day Carmel reached an agreement to work together to better serve the residents of Carmel. While both publications share a common editorial philosophy of providing the residents of Carmel with quality content that is informative while shining a positive light on the people and events of Carmel, the different media in which we operate, print versus digital, presented a natural opportunity to collaborate.

ood Day Carmel is a 501(c) (3) not for profit launched in 2014 with the express purpose to promote positive stories about Carmel. Good Day Carmel provides a daily e-newsletter with many of the stories submitted to Good Day Carmel editors by residents who want to share their good news opportunities with fellow citizens. On Fridays, the newsletter features the latest schedule of upcoming activities for busy weekends in Carmel. Residents have come to rely on this timely update in order to take advantage of as many

activities as possible. In addition, each month a series of bloggers post their observations and opinions about the city they love.

Many times, Carmel Monthly is asked to help promote events that fall outside of our print deadlines and will now look to Good Day Carmel’s digital platform to help in those situations, in addition to Carmel Monthly’s social media outlets. While each of our publications shall remain independent, you will see a sharing of content between Carmel Monthly and Good Day Carmel as well as each publication promoting the other to its readers. We encourage you to sign up for Good Day Carmel e-newsletters by going to gooddaycarmel.com.

Cities are the economic engines of the nation. Cities that connect and collaborate with people who have innovative ideas are shaping the nation’s future. “A smart city knows it has a lot to learn and that none of us is as smart as all of us.”

ity changemakers are the leaders, planners, mayors, council members, college presidents, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, executives, social advocates, artists, and architects in a city. Focusing its mission on connecting city changemakers across the nation, CEOs for Cities is a national city-learning network. It connects cross-sector leaders through its network of City Clusters (members). CEOs for Cities has grown the only national, cross-sector network that connects city leaders and its changemakers; it shares research, smart ideas and best practices for economic success. A few of Hamilton County’s own are active members in the local City Clusters, including Mo Merhoff, president of OneZone, and Brenda Myers and Karen Radcliff with Visit Hamilton County. They actively engage with other city clusters at meetings and conferences where they share best practices, ideas, etc. Merhoff will be attending the spring meeting this month in Greenville, South Carolina, where the focus will explore how cities and regions seize unique opportunities and connect and collaborate across sectors, disciplines, generations, and borders to make bold investments in their future. OneZone will be hosting the president of CEOs for Cities, Lee Fisher, at its July all-county luncheon where he will address

business members on the genetic code of urban success: CITY-Connections, Innovation, Talent and Your Distinctive Assets. He will identify the drivers that must be embedded into every strategy such as economic inclusion, measurable progress, collective impact and cross-sector city networks. Merhoff first learned about CEOs for Cities through Myers and Radcliff. “The first trip that I went on with the group was in Des Moines, Iowa,” Merhoff said. “I hadn’t been to Des Moines since I was 10 years old. They are doing some really incredible and innovative things. The Indy group got on a bus with those of us from Hamilton County and rode the eighthours over to Des Moines. Most people know that I’m a big believer in breaking

down the great wall of 96th street and that regionalism matters. This was a terrific opportunity for our group to talk and share ideas.We arrived in Des Moines and got to meet and hear some incredible presenters.” Merhoff explained that the core messages in CEOs for Cities are cities that take it upon themselves to build and rebuild their cities. Those cities make sure that they are vibrant. Their message is, “Don’t wait for someone to legislate something for you. Do it and make it happen.” “ I was so impressed, not only with the speakers whom I heard, but at each of these events they do a ‘deep dive’ into the city where they gather people from their city to create a panel for discussion,” Merhoff said. “On the way back, we had

MAY 2017

Don’t wait for someone to legislate something for you. Do it and make it happen.” time to debrief and share our thoughts on what the people of Des Moines were doing that was a kernel of knowledge for us. What could we learn and what were their minefields along the way and what happens next in our own communities?” At a different CEOs for Cities event, Merhoff heard Manuel Pastor speak. Pastor is a professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity at USC. His research is about what cities are “winning” in economic development. According to Pastor, it’s those cities that are paying attention to diversity.

“His pitch is if you look at what’s going to happen to the population in this country over the next 20 years, we are going to become more diverse,” Merhoff noted. “So, what are we going to do about that? Are we going to embrace it and create strong cities? If there is a root message to CEOs for Cities, it is that cities are powerful places and I can’t think of a message that resonates more solidly with Mayor Brainard and Mayor Fadness. That is exactly what they are doing. I am excited and I think that when people hear Lee speak at our luncheon, they will want to be a part of this.” Merhoff concluded, “I think that, in part, it’s about recognizing the power that we do have or can bring together to create the communities that we want. From a chamber standpoint, we think about the value of businesses. Show me a strong business community, and I’ll show you a strong community. I do think that sometimes there is a mindset that we just

have to deal with what we’re dealt, such as‘That’s just the way it is’ or ‘A certain neighborhood is just how it is.’ Maybe [if] we take the strengths of all the different aspects of our cities and put those together all of the business people who are pro-community, we can make it better for the people who live in our cities.” For more information on CEOs for Cities visit www.ceosforcities.org.

The Economics behind Carmel’s Efforts to Promote Cultural Diversity

Publisher’s Note: Carmel was just named “Best Place to Live in America” out of 100 cities by Niche, in part because of its efforts to promote its cultural diversity. As a result, we sat down with Mayor Brainard to talk about how cultural diversity is a component of the city’s economic development.

Writer // Janelle Morrison

s our nation struggles with immigration and diversity, many people do not fully understand the impact that diversity has on their local economic development. The cities and towns that fail to recognize the impact may be doing so at their own economic peril. Celebrating cultural diversity has proven to be a necessary component of any economic development plan. It is as important as tax incentives, public education, infrastructure and other driving factors. As individuals, we identify with the beliefs, languages, customs, art, and institutions that comprise our communities. A community’s culture is the cumulation of these, and its diversity is its source of development, social cohesion and social development. Cultural diversity, while an asset for any community that

CARMEL MONTHLY

Carmel_2017_May_CulturalDiversity.indd 1

is interested in its growth and advancement, does pose challenges for languages, educational systems, health care systems and the work force. Several communities across the nation are faced with rapidly growing populations and integration issues. Carmel is not immune to these challenges, but the city’s government and community leaders have a pulse on these issues and are proactively engaging their residents in a myriad of outreach programs and active discussions. The overall culture of Carmel represents various influences and many backgrounds; it is reflected in its catalogue of cultural programs, festivals, entertainment, religious organizations, commissions and educational opportunities. Throughout Mayor Jim Brainard’s sixterms, the city’s population has steadily grown from more than 25,000 in 2000

MAY 2017

2017-04-24 12:35 PM

(2000 census) to just under 90,000 (2015 American Community Survey). Within those numbers, the city has also become more ethnically diverse, and the diversity is celebrated in a litany of celebrations, festivals, and arts-based performances produced by private organizations, faithbased groups, and the resident companies of the Center for the Performing Arts. The city is host to festivals such as the Carmel International Arts Festival, Oktoberfest, Greek Fest, Holocaust-Days of Remembrance, Mooncake Festival, Russian Festival and new this year, an authentic Christkindlmarkt that will kick off the winter holidays. Every festival, program, and performance that is produced to engage, educate, and celebrate each other’s heritages, exemplifies the acceptance and compassion that is the Carmel culture. “It is important to have a welcoming community for immigrants because without it we won’t be able to continue to attract the private companies and corporations that make up such large part of our tax base,” Brainard said. “Carmel has done well in terms of attracting corporate offices to our city, and part of the tax revenue received from these corporations is double or more in percentage than in other cities. As a result, it is one of the reasons why our tax rate remains low. It is hinged on good public schools and a welcoming community. Our corporate culture is critically important to our growth, success, and competitiveness as a city.” Brainard continued, “It is a global economy, and these companies bring with them employees from all over the world. If these employees don’t feel welcome, don’t have confidence in our public-school system and don’t enjoy the Carmel culture, then the companies will not locate here but will go to another community where their employees do feel comfortable.” Mayor Brainard was one of the first local leaders to compose an anti-discrimination ordinance in the wake of the fallout over the state’s controversial “religious freedom” law. “The government should not be decid-

ing how people live their lives and how they worship so as long as people are not committing crimes,” he emphasized. “We need to demonstrate throughout the U.S. that a democracy made up of immigrants does work. It’s important to remember that printed on the back of a one dollar bill, is ‘E pluribus unum’ which is Latin for ‘One out of many.’ We are the only country in the history of mankind that has built a nation out of immigrants from hundreds of countries and the native Americans. We have achieved this through the art of debate and discussion, shared values, and our constitution that represents freedoms of speech, press, and religion and representative government. We need to get back to the basics of what unites our country and show the world that representative democracy does work.” Brainard praised the faith-based organizations, service organizations and all the residents who exude the city’s proclamation of acceptance and a welcoming spirit. “Our residents and organizations understand that we, unless we are native Americans, came from somewhere at some point from a different country. That is one of our greatest strengths. The people in Carmel are well-educated and worldly. We retain our heritages and many of those traditions, and we come together to share those with our neighbors. We celebrate the many nationalities and traditions that have become the Carmel culture. We enjoy the diversity of food, dance, music, folklore and art that is due in part to our city’s appreciation and dedication to the arts and education.” The city has enjoyed a 23-year relationship with its sister city, Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan. The Japanese Garden behind City Hall is a tribute to the historic relationship. Carmel also enjoys its other sister city, Xiangyang, Hubei, China. The Mooncake festival is a traditional Chinese festival held in the fall and celebrates this relationship and Chinese culture through dance, music, and traditional mooncakes. The mayor has organized the Carmel Interfaith Alliance, which is a coalition of faith traditions in Carmel that works together to build understanding and service for the city. Brainard also organized the

CARMEL MONTHLY

Carmel_2017_May_CulturalDiversity.indd 2

Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Human Relations in 2009 to advise him and recommend ways to better recognize the contributions of all Carmel residents to the quality of life. It also serves to identify any obstacles that may prevent full citizen participation in the city’s civic and other activities. The advisory commission started a project last year in collaboration with the Carmel Farmer’s Market that allows cultural organizations the opportunity to use commission’s booth, free of charge, to represent different nationalities and meet with the market-goers. The Carmel Clay Public Library is another institution that engages the entire community with diverse programming and festivals that are family-friendly. The CCPL hosted the Indian Cultural Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival that is a partnership with the Carmel-Xiangyang Sister City Committee and the Indy Asian American Times. “Carmel demonstrates publicly that we welcome people from all backgrounds,” Brainard concluded. “It is important that our residents know this and that our children are taught this, too.” We will be covering additional events and programs that advocate for the city’s cultural diversity promotional efforts throughout the year. The first installment features the upcoming “A Night in India,” a Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre production, that is included in this issue.

“A Night in India” G H D T

P r e s e n t s

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photographers // JJ Kaplan Wilson Silverthorne and Stacy Kagiwada

Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre (GHDT) is one of the Center for Performing Arts resident companies that promotes cultural diversity through its world-renowned dance theatre productions. GHDT performs a wide variety of styles of modern dance, theatre, ballet, and ethnic dance forms in Carmel and has toured Europe and other countries. The company is especially known throughout the United States and India for presenting programming that features the culture, music, dance and history of India. GHDT will be closing its 2016-17 season with ‘A Night in India.” The world premiere of this spectacular performance of inspired dance, brilliant lighting, exquisite costumes, and vibrant music will delight audiences June 9 and 10 at The Tarkington in Carmel.

GHDT’s founder and artistic director, Gregory Hancock, sat down with us to discuss why it is important for his company to present “A Night in India,’ a unique fusion of modern dance, classical Indian, Bollywood and other styles of Indian dance. “I’ve had an interest in the Indian culture for a long time,” he said. I’ve been working on combining themes, culture, and music and art of India for several years. I have an affinity for the Indian culture and other cultures as well. We’ve done programs on eastern European, Mex-

ican and other cultures, though I have a strong connection with India.” Hancock has made several trips to India, and he inserts a little more into his work after each visit. “Every time that I go to India, it influences me in some way,” he said. “I bring something back. It doesn’t always manifest itself right away, sometimes it’s a year later, sometimes a month later and sometimes it’s instant. India is so colorful, but it is also spiritual. It’s grounded, earthy and chaotic and all those things are what makes it India. I wanted to bring a more comprehensive program than what we’ve

CARMEL MONTHLY

Carmel_2017_May_AnightinIndia.indd 1

done before to our audiences.” “A Night in India” will be a collaboration of classical Indian, Gypsy, Bollywood and other genres of music. “I wanted to highlight the richness of the culture and the music,” he said. “I have included a couple of pieces of Indian-inspired music that are inspired by Indian music but are set to western music. There will be colorful and high energy pieces but there will also be quieter and more introspective kind of pieces with a wide range of emotions throughout the production. Hancock continued, “The costumes, which are made in-house, are colorful

and intricate with a lot of heavy jewelry. It is important to me that our company always performs heavily costumed. There are a lot of companies that are sleek and perform in simpler attire, but I like for our company to ‘look’ extravagant to enhance the performance. I want to do a more encompassing program of India, which is nearly impossible to achieve because India is so diverse. “There is so much diversity in India. There are several languages and each region is completely different in its food, culture, music, and art. In a two-hour program, I am doing as much as I can to showcase the diversity of India. Our supporters have always been embracing of di-

verse cultures and ideas. They understand that we are a global community. There is so much art, history, and spirituality outside of the U.S. that we can explore. With what is going on in the world, it is an appropriate time to talk about diversity,” he said. The GHDT Board of Directors president, Ivy Heazeltine, spoke about what people can expect from this performance. “Sometimes when people think of “A Night in India,” they will think that it is a classical or traditional Indian performance. “A Night in India” is more than that. It will be visually stimulating and the music itself will be diverse. It will appeal to a broad range of audiences. It will loop in the Indian culture, but it will be appealing to a general audience as well. One of Gregory’s many talents is that he is a fantastic storyteller. Whatever is created, there is deep meaning to it and a story that can be followed and easily connected with.” Raju Chinthala, a longtime friend of Hancock has recently joined GHDT’s board of directors. Chinthala is a Speech Language Pathologist (Dysphagiologist) and American political advocate. He is the founder of Chinthala & Associates speech pathologist firm and founder of the

CARMEL MONTHLY

Carmel_2017_May_AnightinIndia.indd 2

Asian-American Indiana PAC. Chinthala is a member of the Mayor’s Advisory Commission of Human Relations and represents many Indian cultural committees and boards that focus on India-Indiana business and economic development. “I have lived in Indiana for 21 years and am active with organizations such as the IN/India Business Council,” Chinthala said. “Indiana is becoming the ‘Silicon Valley’ of the Midwest and is bringing IT related companies to Indianapolis and to Carmel. It is important to celebrate the cultural ties between Carmel and India. The Indian residents that live in Carmel represent 29 different states within India. There are thousands of languages in India, and each of the 29 states have different foods, costumes, music, and traditions to celebrate.” Chinthala met Hancock 11 years ago when GHDT performed for the India Association of Indianapolis. Hancock and his company were performing as part of the Diwali celebration, the annual Hindu festival of lights celebrated in autumn in the northern hemisphere (spring in the southern hemisphere). Chinthala was impressed with Hancock’s choreography skills, team, and his concepts. “I call Gregory my brother from another mother,” Chinthala said. “Gregory and his company have performed and continue to perform for many India cultural programs, weddings, and private parties. He understands the vast diversification of India. India is the largest democratic country in the world and the second largest population with 1.3 billion people. There are many cultures, languages, and costumes to celebrate. The Indian influence can be seen with people learning more about Yoga and meditation and even with spices. One of the top spices sold in 2016 was turmeric—an Indian spice. It is my goal, as a board member, to bring together the philanthropists and garner long-term financial support of GHDT’s cultural celebrations and performances.” For more information on the upcoming performance, A Night in India, visit www.gregoryhancockdancetheatre.org.

Homenclature: A Unique Furnishings Store Finds a Home in Carmel If you’ve been looking for that one store to find one-of-a-kind furnishings and accessories to make your home stylish and unique, look no further; it now exists in Carmel. Homenclature recently opened in Merchant’s Plaza on 116th Street and offers items that you won’t find anywhere else. All items have been painstakingly collected by its owners Amanda and Shayne Snider.

Writer // Janelle Morrison

fter leaving a successful career in medical sales to have the couple’s third child, Amanda gave birth to her brainchild, Homenclature, a home furnishings store unlike any other. Amanda and Shayne had long considered owning a business, but the idea of a furniture store was spurred on by what Amanda believed was a lack of unique furniture and accessory options. She felt that the furnishings market was full of stores that looked the same inside and offered the same overpriced, poor-quality items. Supported by Shayne, a high school history teacher and head football coach, Amanda set up some ground rules for the new business. They decided that they would borrow no money to start the business and would close it if not profitable. With that, Amanda began garbage-picking, flea-marketing, and re-purposing in preparation. Homenclature opened in May of 2008 in Munster, Indiana, near where Amanda and Shayne lived. Amanda says Homenclature offered something unique. “Originally, our model was re-purposed and gently used, unique furniture in a modest 3,600 square foot space

at the backend of a strip mall next to the local neighborhood bar. Though we had stockpiled inventory for nearly eight months prior to opening, we had sold everything in about the first two months,” says Amanda. She began perusing Craigslist and visiting neighborhood garage sales, estate sales and auctions, collecting items to sell in the store. Eventually, Amanda used her sales experience and began cold calling warehouses, distribution centers, shipping companies and furniture manufacturers. “As it turns out, there’s a lot of broken stuff lying around in warehouses,” she says. At first it was just a few pieces at a time, and then it was by the truckload as Amanda purchased salvage products. She and her repair man learned how to repair all types of furniture. Business was so brisk that the store quickly doubled in size. In 2013, Amanda and Shayne closed the Munster store and opened a new one in a 30,000-square foot former wiper-blade factory warehouse in Valparaiso. In five years the company had expanded from 3,600 square feet of space to almost ten times that. With constantly increasing sales and responsibilities, Shayne

left his successful teaching career and resigned from his position as an assistant superintendent to join Homenclature in 2015. Within a year, they were looking to expand into the north side of Indianapolis and found an ideal location for their new store at Merchants Plaza in Carmel. Amanda guarantees that a visit to Homenclature will be different than visiting your run-ofthe-mill furniture store. “Customers can expect to find a unique, and eclectic hand-curated collection of quality items at aggressive pricing that is immediately available. The selection of items ranges from true one-of- a-kind pieces, re-purposed and reclaimed pieces, original art, prototypes, samples, overstock, chip-and- dent, well-known designers, and just flat-out good deals,” she says. Amanda says that they have found that customers do not want to wait to make their homes beautiful and are tired of seeing the same old stuff from store to store. “Clients have the ability to furnish their entire home from top to bottom in one store without looking like they bought everything at one place. Your home’s furnishings should be a direct reflection of your personality and show a history

where awesome pieces are collected along the way,” she says. While Homenclature does offer a custom order program, most of their business is done right off the sales floor. White-glove delivery service is available as well as customer pick up. New items arrive every week and Homenclature transforms into a completely new store every month.

Jackie Evancho burst into the national spotlight at the tender age of 10, when audiences and judges on America’s Got Talent were so stunned by her flawless soprano and operatic repertoire they wondered if she was lip-syncing.

By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic, and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Wilson’s six-time, Tony Award winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a familyfriendly story to be shared with every generation. The Music Man follows fasttalking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize - this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. TARKINGTON APRIL 28-MAY 13

The performing arts department at Carmel High School presents its Broadway-inspired musical production of the renowned “Phantom of the Opera.”

ans of Broadway musicals are in for a spectacular production of “Phantom of the Opera,” right here in Carmel. Personally, I have seen the Tony Award-winning production several times and have an affinity for the challenging musical compositions, the costumes, and of course, the brilliant set designs that create the haunting splendor of the Paris Opera House and disturbing recesses of Phantom’s labryinth. I met with the director and the two leading actors to discuss their individual

passions for producing and performing such an iconic production. The familiar story of a disfigured man who haunts the opera house and falls in love with his protégé has been wooing audiences around the world for decades. The musical scores by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Charles Hart will be performed by the CHS’s orchestra, composed by Michael Pote, director of bands, and by a company of 190 members of the cast, crew, and orchestra.

Behind the Scenes Directing the premier of this CHS production, John Burlace, a director of choirs at CHS, shared what a daunting undertaking it has been, but how it has also been rewarding to everyone involved. “We’ve got a number of talented students and staff members who are involved and who are able to pull off a show that most high schools wouldn’t even try to produce,” Burlace said. “’Phantom of the Opera’ is one of those things that has been so popular for so

long, and it is unusual that the rights were released while it is still selling out on Broadway. The production is a doubleedged sword in that it is a ton of work to produce and a really difficult production, but on the flip side, it’s a production that everybody involved is extremely excited to do, and we’ve had a lot of energy invested on the front end of producing it.” Burlace explained that the production is inspired by the original. He decided rather than to reinvent it or take a minimalist approach, he would stay true to the original. That meant that the attention to details was crucial to the overall success of the production. The dark and ominous lighting, the majestic staircase for “Masquerade,” the candelabras in Phantom’s labyrinth, the infamous chandelier, and the Phantom’s organ were important accents to the scenes. Along with those, the vibrant costumes (an average of 3-4 for each of the 74 kids, more for the lead roles) and pageantry will grace the stage and delight the audiences. “People have these images when they think of “Phantom of the Opera,” and we

don’t want to disappoint the audiences,” Burlace emphasized. “Part of being in the arts is learning how to be creative with the budget as well. We figured out how we’re going to light the scenes and build them. We figured out how to give the illusion of certain things without having to fully construct them. This all has involved a tremendous amount of teamwork, and we’ve all been committed to making it happen.” The students who were courageous enough to audition for and were cast in The Phantom, Jake Letts, Christine Daae, and Taylor Bickett, are seniors at CHS. Letts plans on studying musical theatre after graduation at either the University of Michigan or Ball State University. His ultimate goal is to end up on Broadway.

The Phantom “I’ve been taking voice lessons with my teacher, Leslie Low, for years, but the first time that I truly knew that this is what I want to do, was when Leslie lent me her DVD of the 25th anniversary of ‘The Phantom of the Opera,’” Letts said. “I watched that and immediately knew that

I had to do that role. I guess I finished that goal a little bit earlier than I expected to. Letts continued, “I was given up for adoption before I was even born and have never met my birth mom. Both of my adoptive parents are white and going out with them as a child, we were always looked at strangely like, ‘Why do these two white people have this black baby?’ I was made fun of at school, and I felt like I had this type of disfigurement. I felt like there was something wrong with me, and I didn’t understand why. I’ve been told the story about why I was adopted, and I have no resentment towards my birth mother at all. I still have so many questions, and I grew up with that feeling like an outcast because of the way that I look. Once I found music, that was how I healed. It has always been therapy for me. My favorite part is going on stage and doing something that I love and then sharing with the audience. Hopefully making them happy or making it a memorable performance. When I first saw The Phantom, I connected to him and how he used his music to try to connect to people and show how he feels. That’s

exactly how I’ve always felt. There are no words that I could speak that would ever be as true as when I’m on stage singing. I understand this character’s pain and rejection. Now that I am 18, I hope to find and contact my birth mother. I would love to bring her to one of my performances as that would be a good representation and the opportunity to show her who I am who I have become. In regards to working with Taylor, I love getting to work with her. She is incredibly talented, and we are pretty comfortable with our roles and know what needs to happen. We are two completely different people, but we work together very well and are comfortable critiquing and helping one another. I am very happy that she was cast as Christine.” Letts’ voice teacher, Leslie Low, has taught him piano for twelve years and vocal lessons for six at her Encore Music Studio in Westfield. “Jake has never been crazy about singing classical music,” she said. “His heart has always been on Broadway pieces. He’s come a long way in a short amount of time. I think he’s going to do a fine job in the role of The Phantom. He’s been studying that role for a long time. Jake has wonderful stage presence and has been developing that over the years. He has a natural personality that belongs on the stage. I’ve been very fortunate to have him as a student. For Phantom, he is developing a baritone voice even though he started his singing as a tenor. He is very versatile. His high note is a B flat, treble clef and his low note is a G in bass clef. That is almost a 3 octave range. I am quite proud of him and will be following him throughout his career.”

Christine Daae Carmel’s own Blair Clark, who is Taylor Bickett’s vocal coach, has been preparing Bickett for the challenging role of Christine at his studio, Coach Blair’s Voice & Performance Studio in downtown Carmel. “I grew up singing along to Radio Disney and Hannah Montana,” Bickett admitted. “I started working with Blair when I was nine years old. I had been in

the Indianapolis Children’s Choir and several school musicals. My mom got me into music fairly early because she heard me singing in the crib at age two, and her friend was over and asked, ‘How does your baby have such pitch?’ When I met Blair, something clicked. He’s helped me grow so much. I started with little competitions and then got involved with the middle school musicals and have been exploring different styles of music that I am able to sing. I have grown exponentially since I’ve met Blair.” Bickett continued, “As soon as I found out that the musical was going to be The Phantom, I was like ‘That is definitely something that I am not used to.’ We did “GodSpell” last year, and I had the rocker girl, whistle tone, belty girl part, and I am not used to singing in the classical style. I started bringing songs to Blair to work on. My range has increased a lot, and it has taken a lot of work. Working on this role has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I am more of a singer than an actor, so it has meant that I had to work more on my acting techniques. I was super nervous during the audition, but I was comfortable with my material. The audition pieces were definitely challenging. The day I found out that I was cast, I burst out laughing. Then, before I could make it down the stairs, I just collapsed and started to cry for nearly five minutes before I could even get up and tell my mom. I was just in awe. It was crazy. Working with Jake has been so cool. He has such a beautiful voice that is so rich and deep and exactly what you would expect The Phantom to sound

like. Singing with him feels like we’re on the sound track. We’ve worked on our expression and musicality parts. We enjoy singing with each other. I picture opening night and it will be a lot of the kids from Amassadors, who are in the production, and are my closest friends. I think it will be cool because the opening scene will have most everyone on stage, all my friends will be beside me and my loved ones will be in the audience. I am so excited for what that’s going to be like. After school, I will be going to Nashville to Belmont University to major in commercial music. It is one of my favorite cities, and I fell in love with it when I first visited. I feel connected to the music industry there. I feel like this is the place that I am supposed to be to figure out what comes next for me.” “When I look back at the first time that I heard her sing, I told her mom that she’s got the ‘It’ factor, she’s got it,” Blair Clark recalled. “It was a combination of her natural God-given talent and her sense of drive. She has always come to me with something different to work on, a totally different genre of music than the last. Taylor is a coach’s dream-to have a student who uses her voice as an instrument. From facial expressions to hand gestures to vocal range and breath control, she’s got it all. It is a gift to be able to work with her. The journey has been awesome. In the music industry, there are so many hills and valleys. There are competitions and awards and rewards. What I respect about Taylor, is her ability to deal with the rejection and the rewards with balance and grace.” Do not miss the opportunity to see this incredible production that will spotlight some of Carmel’s most talented artists, musicians, and staff members as the curtain closes on another brilliant school year at Carmel High School.

Margaret Peterson Haddix - Children of Exile Wednesday, May 17, 2017, 6 p.m. Margaret Peterson Haddix is a world-renowned children’s author. She has since written more than 25 books for kids and teens, including Running Out of Time; Don’t You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey; Leaving Fishers; Just Ella; Turnabout; Takeoffs and Landings; The Girl with 500 Middle Names; Because of Anya; Escape from Memory; Say What? The House on the Gulf; Double Identity; Dexter the Tough; Uprising; Palace of Mirrors; Claim to Fame; the Shadow Children series; and the Missing series. She also wrote Into the Gauntlet, the tenth book in the 39 Clues series. Her books have been honored with New York Times bestseller status, the International Reading Association’s Children’s Book Award; American Library Association Best Book and Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers notations; and readers’ choice lists in more than 29 states. Haddix and her husband, Doug, now live in Columbus, Ohio, with their two children. “When I was a kid, I didn’t think that being an author was something that “real” people got to do. So, it was very hard to see what path I could follow to achieve my dreams. One of the reasons I love meeting kids through library outreach programs is so I can say to them, ‘If I can do this, you can, too. It’s possible! I am a big fan of libraries in general, and I love that they find multiple ways to bring together books, readers, ideas, and authors. Having an author speak at a local library enables authors and readers to have more of a complete dialogue, instead of a conversation that only goes in one direction. I learn from readers, and I hope that they learn from me, too!”

Dick Hall with Lisa Hendrickson - Kiritsis and Me: Enduring 63 Hours at Gunpoint Lisa Hendrickson on Tuesday, May 23, 2017, 1:30 p.m. Dick Hall is a retired Indianapolis business executive. In 1977 he was kidnapped, marched through the streets of Indianapolis with a shotgun wired to his neck and held hostage at gunpoint for 63 hours by a disgruntled client named Anthony Kiritsis. Law enforcement agencies and an Indianapolis radio broadcaster frantically negotiated to save Hall’s life. The story made national headlines and earned a Pulitzer Prize for an Indiana photographer. In his new book, Kiritsis and Me: Enduring 63 Hours at Gunpoint, Hall reveals the details of the harrowing incident he has not discussed publicly for 40 years. He is a graduate of Purdue University and a U.S. Navy veteran.

Children of Exile Rosi must decide what she’s willing to risk to save her family—and maybe even all of humanity—in the thrilling first novel of a brand-new trilogy. For the past twelve years, adults called “Freds” have raised Rosi, her younger brother Bobo, and the other children of their town, saying it is too dangerous for them to stay with their parents, but now they are all being sent back. Since Rosi is the oldest, all the younger kids are looking to her with questions she doesn’t have the answers to. She’d always trusted the Freds completely, but now she’s not so sure.

Lisa Hendrickson Lisa Hendrickson is owner of Lisa Hendrickson Communications. Her most recent projects include serving as editor and project manager of the official State of Indiana bicentennial commemorative book, Indiana at 200: A Celebration of the Hoosier State, and assisting Dick Hall with his memoir recounting his kidnapping by Tony Kiritsis in 1977. She is currently working on the biography of three generations of enterprising Western pioneer women—among them, the first woman

to own and operate a dude ranch in Montana. Lisa served as director of communications at Park Tudor School for 17 years. She started her career as a journalist, working as statehouse reporter and television news producer, and then handled public relations and media relations for Ameritech and Merchants National Bank. “I’m grateful that libraries offer opportunities for readers to make personal connections with authors. As a reader, I love hearing authors talk about writing

because they offer background, dimension and depth. As a writer, it’s rewarding to talk about the process of crafting a story. The book Dick Hall and I will discuss at the Carmel-Clay Library in May— Kiritsis and Me: Enduring 63 Hours at Gunpoint—is a familiar story to people who lived in the Indianapolis area in 1977. Many may want to know more, since Dick has not spoken publicly about his kidnapping by Tony Kiritsis for the past 40 years and is now ready to share his experiences. We’re pleased that the Visiting Author Series offers the opportunity for curious readers to learn more.”

Kiritsis and Me: Enduring 63 Hours at Gunpoint On a raw February morning in 1977, Indianapolis police radio frequencies crackled with the first acts of what was to become a bizarre and frightening, three-day-long psychodrama. A man named Tony Kiritsis had wired a shotgun to the back of Richard Hall’s head. In a type of manic march, Kiritsis nudged and shoved Hall from his downtown Indianapolis office over piles of snow on midtown streets. Kiritsis was belligerent. Kiritsis fingered the trigger with his right hand as he held the barrel in his left, prodding Hall. It was cold. Both men were in shirtsleeves. Citizens and police were simply stunned by what they saw. The cursing and screaming Kiritsis commandeered a police car and sped off to the west. Something was about to change in American media coverage, and forever in the life of Richard Hall. For three days his angry, ranting captor threated to kill him as radio, television, wire service and newspaper reporters covered every turn of event. We have waited four decades to hear more of the story. Richard Hall now shares his singular experience of being the victim of an historic act of terror that seized the world’s attention and ushered the media into an unpredictable new world. – Foreword by Tom Cochrun, former reporter WIBC radio and WTHR13 news anchor, from Kiritsis and Me: Enduring 63 Hours at Gunpoint

Tammy Kaehler - Kiss the Bricks - A Kate Reilly Racing Mystery Thursday, May 25, 2017, 11 a.m. Tammy Kaehler is a mystery writer wrapped around auto racing. But before trying her hand at fiction, she established a career writing marketing materials, feature articles, executive speeches, and technical documentation. A fateful stint in corporate hospitality introduced her to the racing world, which inspired the first Kate Reilly racing mystery. Tammy works as a technical writer in the Los Angeles area, where she lives with her husband and many cars. Her latest book, Kiss the Bricks, is her 5th Kate Reilly mystery. Kiss the Bricks At the end of the first practice session for the iconic Indianapolis 500 race, Kate Reilly is stunned to discover she was the fastest driver on the track. She’s even more surprised to learn she wasn’t the first woman to top the speed charts in the race’s 106-year history. That feat was accomplished in 1987 by PJ Rodriguez, who shocked the racing world by committing suicide ten days later. When the press, bloggers, and social media go crazy over the connection between PJ and Kate, Kate begins to lose her identity - suddenly everyone’s comparing Kate and PJ, and wondering if Kate will kill herself, too. Under siege from various trolls live and digital, Kate feels PJ’s story deeply. So, she’s impelled to listen to PJ’s family - who claim PJ was murdered. And she agrees to help them find PJ’s killer and restore her reputation...30 years after the fact.
