S.I., ARTS COUNCIL

That's good news. It's one thing for the arts to be encouraged, but when it's a fragmented approach, competing factions often doom the effort. I hope this winds up being a unified, successful venture…

I'm a local artist. Live in Carmel. What do I need to do to show my art at the Independent Holiday Art Sale and other events? Here is my website: www.cardosogallery.com

Thanks for any information :)

Looking forward to helping my mom (one of your artists) at the BeIndypendent Holiday Art Sale this Friday! We are hoping for a really great turn out! Hope everyone finds a minute to stop by!
Happy Holidays!

Cathy,
The Indypendent Holiday Art Sale will feature 20 local artists at the Indianapolis Artsgarden, downtown Indianapolis on Friday, December 11 - all day long! All work is priced from $10 - $300 so it is perfect for gifts or starting your own collection of local, original art. For more information you can check out the event on the SI calendar or visit www.BeIndypendent.org to see a list of artists and links their images.
Thanks,
Shannon

Another chance to buy local art for the holidays...

11.01.09 - The INDIEana Handicraft Exchange will finish out the year with one last "mini" event on Friday, December 4.

The Mass Ave Merchants Association has invited the IHE to participate in their annual First Friday Holiday Hoopla. In conjunction with the gallery openings, sales, parties and other events on Mass Ave, the IHE will have 46 vendors, live music and raffles at the Chatham Center, located just three blocks off of Mass Ave, at the corner of 9th and East.

The way from Mass Ave to the Chatham Center will be lit by the beautiful King's Park white rainbarrel luminaries. Folks can make the quick walk over from Mass Ave to our building, or they can catch the shuttle, which will be running at no charge that evening for the Holiday Hoopla, and be dropped off directly in front of the Chatham Center. There is also plenty of street parking around the building, should patrons want to drive directly there.

The event will run from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and is FREE and open to all ages. This is a great chance to finish holiday shopping early, and to make sure you get unique, high-quality, handmade gifts. You'll purchase directly from the artist and will be able to ask questions about the materials and methods used in their creation. Many artists also accept custom orders, so don't hesitate to inquire if you don't see exactly what you are looking for.

Bundle up and bring the whole family. We will provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Hope to see you there!

(Note: The Chatham Center is also this year's location for the Indy Winter Farmers Market. November 14th through April 24th. Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.)

Kathy and Shannon:

I am new to this group and don't know anything about the Holiday Shopping event to which Kathy refers. If such an event is already planned, can you provide details? Sounds like a great idea!
Kathy Gehlhausen Slaughter Comment by Kathy Gehlhausen Slaughter on November 16, 2009 at 9:19am
Wonderful! I look forward to the holiday shopping event - I think it's a great location and a good alternative to yet another sweater from Old Navy/Ann Taylor/Macy's/etc.
