SUMMARY:June First Friday Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:On June 6th\, from 6-9pm\, join us for First Friday! Enjoy these openings: \nIn the Harrison Gallery\, CYCLO by Mailinh Hồ. In this exhibition\, Mailinh Hồ presents an array of soft oil paintings and vibrant watercolors as personal reflections. Snapshots of memories\, musings on nostalgia and an imagined future come together to ask\, “Where are you going and where are you from?” Like a dog chasing its tail\, we look behind us and keep on running. \nIn the Gallery Annex\, Backlogged Dreams by Kaylan Buteyn. Buteyn explores memory and the unconscious through textiles\, mixed media\, and watercolor. Drawing on imagery from her childhood log cabin home\, she pieces together fabric\, paint\, and mark-making in layered compositions that reflect how memories distort and evolve. \nIn the Speck Gallery\, Visual Rhythms by Mike Meares. This collection of acrylic paintings explores the energy of music through layers of line and color. Inspired by the emotions and complexity of song\, Meares creates spontaneous works shaped by the rhythms and melodies he listens to. The process reflects the transformative power of music\, inviting viewers to experience the emotional depth of sound through visual art. \nIn the City Gallery\, Alternate Route by Phillip Lynam. In this exhibition\, Lynam presents paintings and drawings that reflect the quiet beauty found in the light\, structure\, and geometry of Indianapolis. Working primarily with acrylic\, graphite\, and colored pencil on panel and paper\, Lynam captures fleeting urban moments through a subtle\, observational lens. \nIn the Hank & Dolly’s Gallery\, Hanging by a Thread by Liz Hamstra. This vibrant collection plays with the tension between symmetry\, asymmetry\, and color. Using acrylic and thread on canvas\, the artist weaves a kaleidoscopic world where shapes and patterns collide. The embroidery thread adds depth and texture\, enhancing the dynamic relationship between the geometric elements and the chaotic landscapes of color. \nIn the Underground Gallery\, Liminal Wonder by Liz Nelson. Liminal Wonder explores beauty in overlooked spaces and moments of transition. Using acrylic and mixed media on wood and canvas\, the artist highlights how line\, form\, and color reveal joy in the mundane and potential in the in-between. Each piece invites quiet reflection and appreciation for subtle shifts that shape our surroundings. \nGuests can also enjoy: \nMusical performances on the Sky Deck with 2025 Art & Soul featured artist Brandon Lott\, thanks to a grant from the Indy Arts Council. Lott began his career in 2014 as a music intern at the Harrison Center while attending Herron High School. In 2022\, Brandon signed with 199X Sound\, an independently-run artist management company based in LA. His work blends R&B and neo soul with global influences\, aiming to inspire listeners to explore their inner selves and question the mysteries of existence. \nBloom Together: Flower-Making Project in the Courtyard. Get creative and help transform our grounds into a vibrant garden of giant blooms! Led by artist Allison Schilawski\, this hands-on community art experience invites everyone to design and build large-scale flowers\, then “plant” them in the garden beds for all to enjoy. \nAll shows will open at 6:00 pm on Friday\, June 6th.  \nVisitors can take in-person gallery tours Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. Online galleries will open on April 5th. You can make an appointment or view the online galleries at harrisoncenter.org/buy-art. \nSpecial Senior Hours are every Friday from 2:00pm – 4:00pm.

But the purity of their love is challenged as chaos\, prejudice\, and tragedy churn around them. \nBoasting a brilliant score from Leonard Bernstein and libretto from Stephen Sondheim with famous numbers\, like “Maria\,” “Tonight\,” and “Somewhere\,” this production features an internationally acclaimed cast and shares a hope for peace in trying times. \nWest Side Story\nMay 9\, 10\, & 11 at 7:00 PM\n​The Indianapolis Zoo\, Bicentennial Pavilion \nTicket Levels and Pricing:\nIndividual Tickets: Dress Circle /Green $92\, Level A/Orange $69\, Level B/Blue $57\, Level C/Yellow $39\nBistro Tables: 2-Top Dress Circle $240\, 4-Top Level A $400\, 4-Top Level B $320

SUMMARY:Mapping Asian and Pacific Islander American History in Indiana
DESCRIPTION:Though Asian Americans are one of the fastest-growing populations in Indiana\, with roots dating back to the late 1800s\, many of the community’s historic and cultural sites are overlooked. A Feb. 4th event presented by Indiana Landmarks in collaboration with national nonprofit Asian & Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation (APIAHiP) will detail efforts to recognize those sites and engage Hoosiers in a conversation about the state’s history of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. \n\nNow home to over 200\,000 Asian Americans\, Indiana boasts a wealth of significant and active Asian American cultural sites\, including the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center in Bloomington and the An Lḁc Vietnamese Buddhist Temple in Indianapolis. Others\, such as the historic Bamboo Inn Chinese restaurant\, once located within Indy’s Circle Theatre Building\, and Columbia City’s soy sauce manufacturer Oriental Show-You Company\, founded by Japanese American Shinzo Ohki in 1924\, no longer exist\, but their stories offer insight into heritage that might otherwise be lost. \n\nJoin Indiana Landmarks at an interactive workshop on Feb. 4 at 6 p.m. in Indianapolis to learn about ongoing efforts to document\, celebrate\, and preserve Asian and Pacific Islander American historic sites in Indiana and nationwide. \n\nThe event’s agenda will include an overview of Asian and Pacific Islander American history in Indiana followed by an interactive presentation on APIAHiP’s “East at Main Street” mapping project. The second half of the workshop will provide time for attendees to contribute their own research and experiences\, or simply to pose questions about the history of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans in Indiana. \n \n“We want this event to kickstart a dialogue for people in Indiana to think consciously about what should be preserved and why\,” said Calvin Nguyen\, a preservation coordinator with Indiana Landmarks. \n\nThis event will be led by Huy Pham\, executive director of APIAHiP\, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting historic places and cultural resources significant to Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. \n\nAsian and Pacific Islander American is an umbrella term for a broad\, diverse group of Americans and their experiences. \n\nWHAT:                Mapping Asian and Pacific Islander American History in Indiana \n  \nWHEN:                 Feb. 4\, 6-7:30 p.m. \nWHERE:               Online and at Indiana Landmarks Center\, 1201 Central Ave.\, Indianapolis 46202 \nCOST:                    Free with RSVP \nRSVP:                    MappingAPIAHistory.eventbrite.com or 317-639-4534
