ONGOING CULTURAL EXHIBITIONS
India – No Place Like Home
6 July 2012 – 20 July 2012
In conjunction with its new cultural exchange program, the Global Art Exchange, the Harrison Center for the Arts is pleased to present "India - No Place Like Home." The Harrison Center has partnered with the Reflection Art Gallery in New Delhi, India to bring Moumita Ghosh and Prittam Priyalochan to Indianapolis to collaborate with local artists Elizabeth Guipe Hall, Quincy Owens and Jonathan Frey. The artists will work together for one month to create a body of work for this group show that opens Friday, July 6th.
The purpose of the Global Art Exchange is to add depth and diversity to artists' lives and work by engaging them in a collaborative, creative, international community. The GAE fosters global connections and encourages cross-cultural awareness both in relationships and in artistic expression. It also seeks to build within the local context of Indianapolis a growing community sense that we live in a global culture and a world-class city.
The art hangs through July 20th.
Also that night: Work by Adam Collier Noel in Gallery No. 2. In the Gallery Annex - Norah Kundrat. In the Underground - Indy Refugee. In the Gym - Cultural Cannibals' DJ Kyle Long.
