Fishers Arts Council (FAC) is preparing to host two highly anticipated juried events this September, promising a celebration of art and community engagement. The fourth annual Harvest Fest, a nonprofit fundraiser and community art fair, will take place on Sunday, September 10, at Fishers Heritage Park at White River. Simultaneously, the fourth annual Juried Exhibit of Hamilton County Artists, will be on display at the FAC Hub Gallery from September 5 to 29.
Harvest Fest aims to raise awareness and funds for Fishers-serving nonprofits while showcasing the talents of artists and artisans from Hamilton County and the surrounding areas. The event, which is free to attend, will feature live music, local beer and wine, art activities for families, unique artistic creations, Indiana authors, and various nonprofits seeking support. Nonprofits, authors, and juried artists can still apply for participation in the event until the July 10 deadline. Interested parties can find application details on the Fishers Arts Council website at fishersartscouncil.org/blog.
The Juried Exhibit of Hamilton County Artists invites current and former painters from Hamilton County, working in any medium, to showcase their work at the FAC Hub Gallery. The exhibit will run from September 5 to 29, with a reception and awards ceremony scheduled for Friday, September 8. Artists must submit their entries by August 7, adhering to the requirements outlined on the Fishers Arts Council website.
The annual Juried Exhibit has become a prestigious platform for Hamilton County artists, offering recognition and prize money for outstanding works. Previous “Best in Show” winners include Stephanie Spay of Noblesville in 2020, Margot Bogue of Fishers in 2021, and Jerry Mannell of Carmel in 2022. Jerry, this year’s winner, will have a solo exhibit in August at the FAC Hub Gallery as part of his 2022 award. The 2023 Juried Show will be judged by Rena Brouwer, a renowned Indiana and national artist with international acclaim. Rena’s work, known for its contemporary style and emphasis on nature, has been exhibited worldwide. Her selection as the judge adds a distinguished touch to the event.
Fishers Arts Council is excited to showcase the exceptional talent of artists and artisans from Hamilton County and beyond. For inquiries and further information, interested individuals can reach out to FAC via email at info@FisherArtsCouncil.org or by calling 317-537-1670.
