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!
Moment to Moment
Moment to Moment is an exhibition that explores the complex lived experiences related to anxiety, loss, grief, and time. It features moments captured through Bibbs’s extensive Polaroid archive, which has been growing over the past 3 years, alongside feelings and moments that are preserved through large-scale weaving installations. These installations incorporate a variety of textures, materials, and colors, reflecting overarching themes of healing, grieving, and the uncertainty that comes with such emotional journeys. Bibbs’s work not only functions as an archive but also as a way to process and navigate through lived experiences.
Tributaries
Abby Dennis is a community, family, and self-taught artist from central Indiana. Her work largely incorporates natural and reused materials to highlight the beauty of the earth and our need to live respectfully in it. She is in her fourth year as a Teaching Artist in the Fibers Department at Indy Art Center.

Constructed Nature
Constructed Nature brings together artwork by Ivy Tech Community College students that explore the tension between the real and the imagined in our relationship to the environment. The works on view draw inspiration from the natural world while also reconfiguring it into new forms. From reflections of organic patterns to surreal reimagining of place, the exhibition highlights how nature can be both observed and invented to reveal not only the world around us, but also the inner worlds we construct.

Military Community Creations
The Indy Art Center is proud to present Military Community Creations, an annual exhibition celebrating the diverse talents of military-connected artists. This show features original work by veterans, military family members, and Veterans Affairs personnel.
Showcasing a wide range of media, this exhibition explores a spectrum of ideas and approaches. Some pieces draw from personal history, others emerge from bold imagination, and many engage with broader questions of memory, identity, and meaning.
Together, these works reveal a vibrant and dynamic community. They speak to individual experience and shared understanding, offering moments of reflection, curiosity, and connection. We invite you to appreciate the distinct voices behind each piece and the collective strength of a community united through creative expression.
