The Fishers Arts Council has announced an array of exciting opportunities for visual and performing artists in 2025, promising a vibrant year of creativity and community engagement.

Musical Performances
Musical acts ranging from solo performers to trios are invited to showcase their talent during the council’s paid, indoor events. The first performance is set for Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025, making it a perfect opportunity for local musicians to spread joy through music. Details on how to submit availability can be found at fishersartscouncil.org/post/2025-musicians.

Visual Art Exhibits
Visual artists are encouraged to submit their work for several upcoming exhibits at two prominent locations: the Art Gallery at Fishers City Hall and the FAC Hub Gallery, located within the Hamilton County Community Foundation. The first exhibit, “The Golden Age: Artists 50 & Better,” celebrates seasoned artists and has a submission deadline of January 17, 2025. Artists facing challenges with the online form can contact the council via email at info@FishersArtsCouncil.org or call 317-537-1670.
