Fishers Arts Council is gearing up for a spectacular end to the year with the final Second Friday event of 2023, promising an evening filled with creativity, talent, and vibrant artworks from new faces at the FAC Hub Gallery.
Scheduled for December 8, from 6 to 8 pm, the free, all-ages celebration will mark the debut of ten local artists, including two budding talents, showcasing their diverse works encompassing acrylic, mixed media, digital art, colored pencil, and more at the FAC Hub Gallery located at 11810 Technology Drive within the Collaboration Hub at Hamilton County Community Foundation.
“We love helping artists showcase their work for the first time and introducing artists to the Fishers community who have not shown with us before,” said Les Reinhardt, Executive Director of Fishers Arts Council. “This exhibit is always a great mix of skill levels with every individual sharing their best work.”
Among the featured artists are Susan Cook, Ciera (CiCi) Eadler, Sam Irish*, Beth Miller, Travis Park, Karissa Rumsey, Lisa Bliss Rush, Preeya Sikand*, and Cristal Williams, representing various cities including Camden, Carmel, Fishers, Indianapolis, McCordsville, and Noblesville.
The exhibition, open from December 4 to 29, will offer art enthusiasts an opportunity to immerse themselves in a diverse array of artistic expressions. Artworks, available for purchase at varying price points, will grab visitors’ attention and perhaps find a place in their homes or offices.
The celebratory Second Friday event on December 8 promises an engaging atmosphere filled with live music by Eric Salazar, known as “The Clarinet Guy.” Attendees can relish snacks, drinks, and a cash bar featuring Sun King beer and Daniel’s Vineyard wines. Additionally, Tracy Gordon of Noblesville, the featured artisan, will showcase her unique handmade gemstone jewelry under her business “Gem Geek.”
To further enrich the evening, FAC board member Pat Grabill will conduct interviews with several of the exhibiting artists at 6:45 pm, offering insights into their inspirations and creative processes.
Moreover, the FAC board is inviting art enthusiasts and community members to join them by accepting applications for new members. Interested individuals can access the applications on the FAC website, during the Second Friday reception, or via email at info@fishersartscouncil.org.
