Indy Captures

Photo + Digital Event at the Indy Art Center

The Indy Art Center presents ‘Indy Captures’ in partnership with Robert’s Camera and North Indy Magazine.

We bring together the Indianapolis Photo + Digital Community for a night of learning, networking, and creative exploration!

This event we have two great women photographers who are sports photographers and news photographers.

Photographers Jenna Watson and Grace Hollars will do a presentation beginning around 6:15 and then do a demo and more presentations in the digital studio. We are planning on having models that evening that you can photograph on the Art Center campus.

We do these events at the Indianapolis Art Center as a way to bring the photographic community together and share techniques and information to make everyone more passionate about capturing great images.

Enjoy our Photo + Digital Studios, where you can attend a live shoot by professional photographers. (Lighting and shooting space will be provided.) Learn more about professional-grade printing from our Artist-In-Residence – Kevin Raber.

This event is FREE and open to the public!

FABLES AND FOLKLORE

The Tarkington

Join GHDT for the highly anticipated return of the popular PINOCCHIO!  In Executive Artistic Director Gregory Hancock’s adaptation of PINOCCHIO, the lonely Geppetto, an inventor of “Steampunk” dolls and robots, longs for a real human child which results in consequential adventure.  Two World Premieres created by Mr. Hancock will also be performed.  GOLEM, drawn from Czech folklore is the story of a clay golem created by a rabbi to protect the Jewish ghetto of Prague from persecution.  And the final tale featuring original music by GHDT collaborator and composer Cory Gabel, XOCHITL AND HUITZILIN will tell the Aztec story of young love, separation and reunification.

THE WILD WILD WEST

The Florence

GHDT brings the American Old West into the black-box cabaret setting for a fun theatrical experience giving a nod to the Western movies of old Hollywood.  Complete with cowboys, gunslingers, bandits, townsfolk, lawmen and saloon girls, this interactive performance will feature renowned music from popular TV and movie Westerns with costumes of yesteryear.

Join us for PVCC's annual holiday party potluck and print gift exchange. The club will provide an entree of deli meats and cheeses. Please bring your 'plus 1' and a favorite hot or cold dish or dessert to share. Watch for an RSVP sign up so we can plan accordingly.

If you wish to join the exchange, bring a gift-wrapped - no names! - matted print; suggested 8x10 or larger but a calendar of your work or some notecards would also be nice. Each person who gifts, gets to choose and unwrap a print. The next in line has the option to steal or open a new print. If your gift gets stolen, you pick or steal another until everyone who entered has a print. (A print can only be stolen twice.) If you were there last year, you can't help but remember what a blast this was - for everyone not named Paul.

Due to road construction in the area, the best approach is to turn west from 10th St onto Cherry St. This intersects with S 5th St, and the little yellow former church is the Birdie Gallery.
