Art enthusiasts across Hamilton County can look forward to an immersive evening of creativity, as the second Fishers Gallery Hop takes place on Friday, November 8, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Hosted by the Fishers Arts Council (FAC), Noblesville Creates, and the Fishers Art Center, the event will feature four unique gallery locations, each spotlighting a different artistic experience.
The evening kicks off at 5 p.m. at Meyer Najem’s 2nd Floor Gallery, located at 11787 Lantern Road. Here, the photography of Fishers-based artist Michael Jack will be on display. Jack’s exhibit, titled “Stories from the Coast,” focuses on the landscapes and history of Washington State’s Palouse region—a place of both beauty and loss, due in part to agricultural consolidation. Known for his storytelling through images, Jack’s work at Meyer Najem will be available for viewing until December 27, with a reception lasting until 8 p.m.
At 6 p.m., art lovers can head to the FAC Hub Gallery inside the Hamilton County Community Foundation at 11810 Technology Drive. The “Aspiring Artists” exhibit showcases the work of budding artists aged 6 to 60+ from five Hamilton County art schools, in mediums including painting, photography, and collage. This gallery is a great chance to connect with local art educators from Fishers, Carmel, and Noblesville.
Simultaneously, at 6 p.m., the Art Gallery at City Hall at 1 Municipal Drive will unveil “Small Treasures” by artist Jeremy Mallov. Through small paintings that capture fleeting moments of inspiration, Mallov reveals the beauty he finds in limited time and small spaces. Visitors can then explore the nearby Fishers Art Center’s “Interwoven” exhibit, which showcases sculptural works by Detroit-based Austen Brantley and Indianapolis-based Susan Tennant. Together, Brantley’s culturally rich sculptures and Tennant’s dynamic fiberglass weavings offer a new perspective on human interconnectedness.
The evening’s programming will include live music, refreshments, and opportunities to meet the artists. The JBJ Collective will perform jazz at City Hall, while the guitar duo Maruchan will bring neo-soul vibes to the FAC Hub Gallery. Additionally, at 6:45 p.m., FAC board member Pat Grabill will interview Jeremy Mallov at the Fishers Municipal Center Theater in a “Focus on the Artist” session.
For those eager to make the most of the Gallery Hop, FAC has introduced an added incentive: the first five attendees to visit all four galleries will receive $25 off artwork purchased that night. Gallery Hop cards will be available at each location for participants to track their journey.
This engaging art-filled evening promises to highlight Hamilton County’s creative talent and connect community members through art, music, and conversation. The FAC encourages driving to the furthest gallery to ensure attendees have ample time to enjoy each exhibit. For more information, contact the Fishers Arts Council.
