Ripple Mobile Arts - Sponsor of the Month

Jeremy South has taught art for over 20 years. The Iowa native came to Indiana to attend Indiana Wesleyan University, where he received a degree in art studio with an emphasis in clay. After college he opened his first studio in Evansville, but within a year, decided to move it to Indianapolis. That’s when Ripple Mobile Arts was born.

“My mission has been to encourage creativity in all I come into contact with,” he said. “I have always wanted to run my own business and work in art.”

South teaches classes at his base studio located inside Northwood Christian Church at 4550 Central Avenue, but you’re just as likely to see him take art education on the road. “I’m a traveling art business providing detailed instruction in the pottery wheel, clay, fused glass, and recycled art,” he said. “We also teach about STEM and literacy and how they relate to art. We custom-fit a program to your needs and bring it to you, all at an affordable price.”

That’s an attractive option for families with small children, home school groups, scout troops, and others, but it’s especially great for families with special needs children. Rather than having to take a child with physical, behavioral, or cognitive challenges to an unfamiliar setting to take part in an art class, you can do it in the comfort of your own home.

South is dedicated to providing unique classes and services for families of special needs children, in addition to supporting Special Needs Living. “My services are very unique and customized to fit any family needs and situations,” he said. He also supports other causes in the community by donating time, money, artwork, and more to fundraising events.

A married dad with one child and four fur babies, South has lived in Rocky Ripple for many years. The northside Indianapolis neighborhood, tucked between Butler University, Broad Ripple, and the White River, is home to lots of creative folks and those who just like to live off the beaten path, both literally and figuratively.

South encourages special needs individuals and families to “look for creative solutions to struggles. There is always more than one approach to [a problem]. It is good to seek balance in your creativity as it helps all other aspects of your life.”
