Comic Book in a Day: Lettering and Layout Workshop (Ages 8+)

We all loved to color when we were little, but some of us never give it up! Colors can make all the difference to a comic book or other types of graphic art. Join in as we explore the world of color and experiment with different media, styles and approaches to using color to tell a story. No artistic skills required: you don’t even have to be able to color inside the lines.

Season of Gratitude Ema Project

This collaborative project between artist Jeannette Pomeroy Parssi and Ignite Studio offers participants a chance to create and share encouraging messages with others. This project is fashioned after the Japanese ‘ema’, a tradition where someone writes a personal wish or creates a small work of art and hangs it with other encouraging messages on a special board. Drop into Ignite Nov. 1-Dec. 21 to add your wishful art to the installation. This project is made possible through a Fishers Arts and Culture Commission grant.

Season of Gratitude Ema Project: Meet the Artist

Join us on Nov. 13 for an opening reception with Jeannette Pomeroy Parassi for an opportunity to work with the artist and add a personal message.
