Creativity + Community: Celebrating AAW Artists in Indianapolis
Artists At Work (AAW) and Herbert Simon Family Foundationinvite you to an evening honoring the Indianapolis-based AAW Artists, whose creativity contributes to the wellness and thriving of our communities.
Join us to learn more about the work AAW Artists Andre Parnell, Ash Robinson, Bryn Jackson and Mariah Ivey have been doing in their personal practices and in collaboration with local partners Arts for Lawrence, Little Red Door, CAMi and the Center for Black Literature and Culture at the Indianapolis Central Public Library. Take in an exhibit highlighting the artists’ processes and work in the Guichelaar Gallery before an evening program of individual presentations and premieres of short films on each artist shot by AAW Alum Joe Aidonidis. Drinks and bites will be served.
This event is FREE and open to the public through RSVP. We hope to see you there!
In Indianapolis, AAW artists will bring their skills and creative thinking to four local social-impact organizations, Arts for Lawrence, Little Red Door, CAMi and the Center for Black Literature and Culture at the Indianapolis Central Public Library, with community connections facilitated by Herbert Simon Family Foundation as a lead regional partner. These cross-sector partnerships, led by local artists Andre Parnell, Ash Robinson, Bryn Jackson, and Mariah Ivey, each focus on serving and activating the local community through artistic and civic engagement projects.
The implementation of Artists At Work in Indianapolis is made possible by the support of the Herbert Simon Family Foundation.
