Winter Exhibition Series
Art Center galleries connect the community with artwork of local, regional, and national artists.
Rotating exhibitions fill our six galleries and are always free and open to the public.
Find yourself here, at Indy Art Center, where it’s always Everybody’s Art!
88th Annual Student Show
In the 88th iteration of the Annual Student Show, the versatility and vibrancy of the Indy Art Center’s studios is on full display. This campus, along with that of the Fishers Art Center, offers a massive range of classes with facilities that inspire unique experiences in each of its studios. Whether a student is designing comic book characters in a Summer Art Camp or is rekindling their creative spirit in their retirement through a wheel throwing class, the Art Center and its faculty offer the resources, mentorship, and inspiration to aid its students in making truly exciting discoveries. The Art Center’s faculty don’t just teach techniques, they unlock possibilities, guide experiments, and celebrate those electric moments when students surprise even themselves.
As you walk through the galleries, you will find artworks created by students of the Art Center in the last twelve months. These students range in age from two to eighty two with artistic backgrounds ranging from beginning to professional-level artists. The themes, ambitions, and intentions of the objects displayed in this exhibition are as varied as the artists that created them. The diverse sampler of works featured in the 88th Annual Student Show is an illustration of the unique community of students that make the Art Center a place that inspires creative expression in all people.
