Drawing on the navigational phrase “Red Right Return,” the series reflects on departure, connection, and the pull of returning home.

Military Community Exhibition
The Indy Art Center is proud to present the second annual Military Community Exhibition, a show celebrating the creativity of military-connected artists and the communities that surround them.
This year’s exhibition brings together artists working in a wide range of media, from painting and photography to woodworking, encaustics, fiber arts, and more. Equally varied perspectives match the variety of materials. Some works draw from personal histories and lived experience, including the places, traditions, and perspectives shaped by military culture. Others begin with an idea, a material, or simply the pleasure of making.
