SUMMARY:Andrea Jandernoa- Power Plant Grant Juror Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Learn about artist Andrea Jandernoa\, a juror for our 2023 Power Plant Grant. Jandernoa is an award-winning artist and educator who specializes in community-based arts programming. She holds an MA in Philosophy and an MFA in Integrative Studio Practice from Herron School of Art & Design. Jandernoa experiments with intentional processes\, materials\, and forms\, in order to discover metaphors that can be applied to social contexts or to challenge inequitable power structures. This results in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary art practice. Jandernoa also maintains a studio space at the Circle City Industrial Complex where she paints and exhibits oil paintings.\n\nAbout the The Power Plant Grant\nPower Plant Grants support — on an annual basis — visual artists who live\, work\, or run spaces in Indianapolis with project grants of $10\,000. Applications for this round are due by July 10\, 2023.\n\nEach year — based on selections by an independent panel — 6 individual artists or teams will receive awards of $10\,000.\n\nEligible applicants are visual and or multidisciplinary artists who create original work in painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, book art\, ceramics\, fiber\, printmaking\, digital and media works\, film\, video\, photography\, performance art\, sound art\, social practice and or hybrid or interdisciplinary practice of any or all of the above.\n\nArtists must be over 21 at the time of the application\, and may not be full-time students.\n\nEmployees or board members (or immediate family members of employees or board members) of Big Car Collaborative are not eligible for this opportunity.\nTeams\, partnerships\, and unincorporated individuals running spaces are eligible. Nonprofit organizations are not.\n\nEligible projects are ones that can be primarily supported by grant funds. Much larger projects that would require far more funding are not eligible.\nPrevious Power Plant Grant recipients awarded in the previous year are not eligible to apply for this current round.\n\nHow it works\nApply by July 10\, 2023. A panel of four judges\, three Indiana-based and one out-of-state\, will award six artists\, artist teams\, or artist-run space project grants of $10\,000 — with a total of $60\,000 granted in 2023.\nTimeline:\nFriday\, May 5 – Application opens\nMonday\, June 5\, 7-8 pm — Virtual information session.\nMonday\, June 26\, 7-8 pm — Information session (in-person)\nMonday\, July 10 – Applications close online\, at 11.59 PM EST\nFriday\, August 11 – All applications notified if they will proceed to the final round\nSaturday\, August 26\, 9:30 am — 6pm — Artists’ presentations at Selection Panel meeting in Indianapolis*\nMonday\, August 28 – Award recipients notified\nMonday\, September 18 – Public Announcement of 2023-24 Awards

SUMMARY:Lunch at Lockerbie Marketplace
DESCRIPTION:Join us for live music by Wick\, comfort dishes by Taste of Manila\, and Live music. Games like foosball\, ping pong\, chess & checkers\, and giant Jenga are also available for additional entertainment. \nAll events are free at 320 N New Jersey Street in the greenspace right off the Cultural Trail. \n\nAbout Wick \nJohn Wick and Andrew Gustin met at IU Bloomington in 2006 and quickly bonded over similar music tastes. In 2007 they moved to Indianapolis and started an Indie Rock band called The Dwellers. The Dwellers were prolific and inspired by the DIY spirit and self released over 10 albums. In 2013 The Dwellers final album ‘Less is More’ was released by Jon Roger’s local label HIFR. \nIn 2021 John and Andrew reunited to make an album of songs John wrote in college. They started a new band called Wick and enlisted Dan Johnson to play drums and had John’s siblings Katie Jones and Ian Wick contribute with backing vocals on the album. Angel Baby is the single from the Wick album called “Forest” which will come out later in the year. \nThe band was joined by former Dwellers bassist Eric Brock to fill out the lineup. \nAbout the project \nA free gathering where knitting and graffiti collide! Simultaneously inspired by traditional knitting and graffiti\, this ever-evolving piece combines fiber adjacent activities\, coloring sheets derived from graffiti and knitting motifs\, and opportunities for participants to share their creative path stories.\nYou are invited to come join the fun\, because without YOU\, Boo\, this project can’t happen. Mary Jo Bayliss specializes in creating environments that help people feel at ease using space\, light and color to achieve these goals.
