Harrison Center — Attraction in Indianapolis

This was actually one of the coolest first Fridays I have been to in Indianapolis since the city has come back to life. I perused around the galleries in awe.

I loved interacting with the artist in their spaces! I am sure I did not see everything and will have to return-I actually can’t wait. I was able to meet Joanna the executive director and she told me all the cool things they have going on at the Harrison Center.

Did you know that there is a karaoke elevator or how about the Koi pond? If you look up, you may find a table that lowers from the ceiling in the main gallery. But I’m not trying to give it all away. You absolutely have to come and see it for yourself, on this occasion there happened to be circus performers in the gym. Yes there is a gym and a slide! So have fun (1)look around (2) as the artist are all cool and you can talk to the genius behind the creation.

Overall there were just extremely cool people walking around doing cool things and showing off cool art pieces but in general it was the best time in a long time.

When I tell you the Harrison Center absolutely blew me away. I am just all done and ready to act like I can paint now. That is how I left feeling -fuzzy and inspired.

Thank you so much for a good time and Joanna for telling us about all the tidbits that we would’ve...

They disrespect anyone who works for them that is a artist. By not paying for material or objects and expecting free work. They also disrespected their vendors at bloombox by making it it so they had to be in 90 degree weather for 9 hours or more. They gave the vendors a apple, water bottle, and a meal voucher. But vendors had to find their own parking and expect you to walk multiple blockes with tables and product. And the event costed 150 dollars to vend at and many didn’t even break even. I love the art community and want to be involved in it but the Harrison center...
