MISSION THE MISSION OF THE INDIANAPOLIS ART CENTER IS TO INSPIRE CREATIVE EXPRESSION IN PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.

Friends, It is hard to believe that we are already gearing up for the holidays. I hope that you and all of yours have a wonderful time with family and friends. In this season of thanks and celebration, I want to let you know how thankful I am for your support of the Indianapolis Art Center. We could not carry forward our mission and programs without your support.

As you gear up for your holiday gift purchasing, mark your calendar for our Winter Art Sale on Saturday, November 23rd. This free event will feature 50 Indianapolis-based artists selling their work. This is an excellent opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind gifts while supporting local artists and the Art Center. Spring classes also make great gifts and gift cards are available. Please consider sharing the gift of art with your friends and family.

In looking ahead to the New Year, we have many exciting offerings to add to your calendar. Look forward to more Date Night Make It Take Its – a wonderful way to spend quality time with someone special. Parents and Grandparents – don’t miss the opportunity to enroll your children in our spring break art camps. These fill up fast so if you are interested do not delay.

Movie buffs – our More than a Movie Series continues to grow in attendance. If you have not yet experienced this program check it out. Also, we are adding Art History offerings to our Make It Take It programming. This is a great way to learn about art in an informal and fun setting. You never know how it may inspire your own artwork.

These additional program offerings, along with the already wonderful classes and exhibitions, set the Art Center apart as a leader in community art education. I am personally looking forward to getting back into the studios and plan to take a painting class this semester. Whether you continue with your favorite class or try something new, I look forward to seeing you in the studios this spring.

Don’t forget that 2020 marks the 50th Anniversary of the OneAmerica Broad Ripple Art Fair. Look for many new surprises and collaborations with community partners along with the incredible original art from over 175 vendors.

Coupled with great music, entertainment, food, and local brews this is an event not to be missed. The Art Fair will take place on May 16th and 17th with all proceeds directly supporting the mission of the Art Center.

In closing, I want to reiterate how thankful I am for all of your support. It is truly an honor to work for the incredible mission of the Indianapolis Art Center and we would not exist without our students, donors, and supporters. We are truly fortunate to have a world-class facility in which to create and experience the arts. As a non-profit, all donations are fully tax-deductible. I ask that you consider the Art Center in your year-end giving. Thank you for all that you do!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year,

Patrick Flaherty President & Executive Director

HONORING & INSPIRING VETERANS THROUGH CREATIVE EXPRESSION For years, the Art Center has held a Veterans Art Day in November to honor and celebrate veterans and active military men and women with a day of free art workshops in a variety of mediums. It is designed to connect veterans with the fun and healing that comes with creating in a hands-on class atmosphere.

Making art can have a transformative effect on veterans adjusting to life after service. Study after study suggests that engaging in art and creativity can have a lasting and healing effect on veterans and the stress related with combat and service. Our Veterans Art Day activities are designed to offer a creative space for vets in a community of their peers while being encouraged and learning a new skill. The success and need for this type of event led to ArtTroop.

SO WHAT IS ARTTROOP? ArtTroop is a free bi-monthly art class that meets from January – October of each year. Participants of this program have been building their existing artistic skills and learning new skills in a variety of art media.

ArtTroop empowers military veterans and active service members by telling their stories through art making. By way of discussion, close collaboration, and a creative outlook, ArtTroop has developed a group of dedicated students who have created strong connections to one another and to the Art Center.

Just within its first year, the ArtTroop students have formed a strong sense of community within their classroom by supporting one another in their efforts to create artwork. With the theme of “evolution” in mind, their annual exhibition, this year entitled ArtTroop: Transformance, explores how the creative process can express the progression of triumphs, hardships, and community that come with being a military veteran.

This program’s success is partly due to the incredible and undeniable support from the students’ teaching artist, Heather Nuber. Nuber, an accomplished metalsmith and sculptor, works with the veterans to bring out their creative abilities and provides a comfortable and inviting space in her classroom. She encourages personal growth by helping students to express themselves through the art making process.

Programs like ArtTroop are at the core of the Indianapolis Art Center’s mission. In an effort to ensure this program is accessible, all materials and equipment are provided at no cost to the students.

Support for Veterans Art Day is provided in honor and memory of Vincent Maxwell.

Images This Page - Top: Tied Together by Sallie Rivera, Middle: After Birthing Journey by Dan Stanley, Bottom: Tied Together by Heather Nuber Images Next Page - Top: Tied Together by Dan Stanley, Middle: Sapien Ascension by Daniel Stanley, Bottom: Shattered Poppies by Sallie Rivera 24

DANIEL STANLEY: VETERAN & ARTTROOP STUDENT My pieces are reconstructions and fusions of dreams, daydreams, and personal visualizations of themes at the edges of my mainstream experience and consciousness. My group of works are combinations of my favorite working media, including graphic arts, photography, printing, and drawing. The goal was to create a seamless fusion of the media into the current images, taking advantage of strengths that each of the types have to offer.

As the finished images are collections of fragments, they represent a journey much like the visual experiences I have while day dreaming. The various completed compositions are tied together by the reoccurring motif of nine spheres in phases that represent transitional evolutions.

Creating these works constituted an ongoing internal dialog in the graphic domain as a means of documenting the flashes of symbolic events that came to mind as part of each collective image. Each successive piece is also part of an ongoing lesson in developing visual conversational skills, and finding connections that can be progressed into future works.

SALLIE RIVERA: VETERAN & ARTTROOP STUDENT For the ArtTroop exhibition I chose to work in various mediums but within a single unified theme of the poppy. Poppies symbolize military sacrifice, yet their bold color radiates a sense of hope. My artwork represents rebuilding, repairing and putting pieces and parts together to form a whole.

Shattered Poppies is a stained-glass mosaic. To me the mosaic represents making sense of broken pieces. Woven Poppies is a paper weaving in which I reclaimed military uniforms as art. The paper was handmade of uniforms worn by my husband, my son, and myself. This process of deconstructing and reconstructing is multilevel; used to create handmade paper from our uniforms as well as the tearing and weaving of the paper to create the finished product. This piece symbolizes the many levels of our intertwined and interwoven lives as family and as Soldiers. Copper Poppies is another play on the poppy theme. I used clay to sculpt and glaze the blossoms which were then affixed to reclaimed wood from my family farm. I like the interplay of the contrasts in the textures of the time and weather worn wood, the warm glow of the copper and the cool smoothness of the poppies. I used an assortment of various pieces that, when combined, form a whole.

“Making” is about much more than just the finished piece; to me the process itself is equally as important. When I’m working with my hands it allows me to retreat to a quieter, calmer mind and I become more at peace. It gives me a sense of purpose, control and meaning as well as bringing me balance and joy. It’s a healing process accomplishing much more than just the finished product.

My goal for this exhibit was to show that you can put “pieces” together in a way that forms a “whole”, much in the same way that after a traumatic experience, veterans piece their lives back together.

The Art Center is a unique place. There are no other living community creative spaces with its breadth and depth in the state of Indiana. Please invest in the future of this creative community and help to support the Art Center’s mission to inspire cretive expression in people of all ages.
