When you cover news around Fishers on a regular basis, you cross paths often with people involved in the arts.  One person I have seen often over the past couple of years of Shari Knox, helping out with the many activities of the Fishers Arts Council (FAC).

Ms. Knox will now be assuming the job of Fishers Arts Council President, according to my news gathering partners at the Hamilton County Reporter.

The Fishers resident has been on the FAC board for three years, most recently as its vice president. Her goal is to ensure that the FAC remains vibrant and reflects the needs of both the community and artists to add more visual and performing arts in Fishers. Knox sees the need for art in public venues and in business venues as well.

Ms. Knox has been active in a number of civic organizations locally and has been instrumental in partnering with GAI Consultants to have artists exhibit work on a rotating basis at its Fishers location. The current exhibit at GAI Consultants features artwork by James Anderson. The FAC seeks to expand these opportunities.
