SUMMARY:World Collage Day
DESCRIPTION:World Collage Day is an annual\, international celebration of collage on the Second Saturday of May. Join artists Beth Hall and Emily Scott in making collages in Indianapolis on May 11th from 12-3pm. \nSome collage basics and supplies will be provided\, but you are encouraged to bring materials of your own as well to contribute to the group effort! Magazines\, old books\, paint swatches\, miscellaneous ephemera\, stamps\, string\, and other trinkets along with glue\, rubber cement\, scissors\, are all good items to consider bringing. \nThis is a free event and Normal Coffee is open with all sorts of drinks and food options. \nInitiated by Kolaj Magazine in 2018\, World Collage Day encourages artists and art venues to hold events on that day to celebrate collage. World Collage Day is about artists connecting across borders against a global context of entrenchment and separation. And the day is about an art medium that excels at bringing different things together to create new forms and new ways of thinking. Ric Kasini Kadour\, the editor of Kolaj Magazine\, writes\, “We created World Collage Day because we wanted to honour this community of artists and to remind the world what a spirit of cooperation\, mutual support\, and creativity can look like.”

SUMMARY:Artist Workshop: Henna with Pam
DESCRIPTION:Join us today to step into the world of intricate patterns and cultural celebration with Pam\, who has been doing henna for around 25 years now. Henna has been around for many centuries as a way to temporarily dye the skin for cosmetic purposes and to color the hair. At first\, henna was smeared on to individuals and did not create the intricate designs made today. There are many steps needed to properly apply henna to an individual. After the henna paste is created\, the henna artist transfers the paste to a narrow piping bag. The henna is then applied depending on the design. After drying\, the cotton ball with lemon juice should be applied to the henna tattoo. The color that will result depends on the time the henna is kept on the skin: the longer you keep it on\, the darker the color will be. After removing\, the henna tattoo will remain for 7-14 days depending on personal skin and daily lifestyles. \nSPARK is a partnership with Downtown Indy @downtownindy the City of Indianapolis @indy_dmd and the Indiana War Memorials Commission – and funded by the Capital Improvements Board.

SUMMARY:Wu-Bad Paint Junkie
DESCRIPTION:A Garfield Park resident and artist\, Wu started painting in 2012. He was walking down the street when he saw a fellow neighbor\, Sharon\, had a sign up on her porch that offered lessons on color theory.\nBy day\, Wu creates specialty floor covering and concrete underlayments that he describes as “walking on artwork.” Doing this since 1977\, Wu has always wanted to keep fresh\, learn\, and improve.\n“I wanted to learn color theory\,” Wu said\, “so I figured\, how else better than by painting? I picked up the paintbrush and put down the toolbox.”\nIn regards to his paintings\, Wu says he does a lot of “dilly dallying\,” but fell in love with work from Georgia O’Keefe and Fra Bartolomeo.\n“I fell in love with Georgia O’Keefe first. So I did a lot of that\, very few of my own things\, but mostly stolen art from the Old Masters\,” Wu said. “That’s what kind of got me started and is pushing me along. After this show\, it’s the end of the chapter. I’m going to be focusing primarily only on the old masters’ work and their techniques.”\nLooking at Wu’s pieces in Guichelaar Gallery\, you see the span of 12 years of work. While within this body of work you might not recognize an exact replica of an O’Keefe\, Wu explains that “A lot of it has been self-taught. Therefore\, the techniques were not correct and it was harder to get to the end product with similar looks. They had totally different techniques. But my work progressed until finally it evolved into some good stuff.”\nFor the future\, Wu hopes to move closer to emulating the Old Masters.\n“The Old Masters\, they learned from each other\,” Wu said. “They had apprenticeships. So the next generation should have been better than the previous. If you go to the museums\, you’ll look at their work — it could take two to three years to complete a painting. Because you’ve got a bird’s eye\, you’ve got Verdi\, and then you add your colors and usually only glazes\, building one upon another for deeper darker colors. And man\, they had to grind their own paint!”\nThrough painting and making work\, Wu enjoys his life. “It’s a hobby\,” Wu said. “Anybody can do it. I was not particularly good at drawing. I’m not particularly good at color theory. Even now\, I’m still learning. Like most hobbies\, everything is a continual learning experience. And sometimes you get a hit\, sometimes you get a homerun.”

SUMMARY:Kelley Jordan Schuyler: A Portrait of Motherhood
DESCRIPTION:Behind/beneath/before every person\, is an individual who became a mother. What does the word “motherhood” mean to you? \nOur culture holds little room for the nuanced and transformative journeys that are the birth and postpartum experience\, the transition to motherhood\, the identity shift\, the lifetime it takes to get to know your child\, the reality that parenthood is a never-ending exercise in letting go. \nIn hindsight\, it’s no surprise that motherhood isn’t what I thought it would be. I entered into the journey with a plan: an unmedicated birth at a birthing center; parenting with strict boundaries and consistency in order to sculpt my child into an ideal human; preservation of my own identity as a person\, partner\, artist. After a traumatic c-section\, a grueling 24-hour wait to meet and hold my son\, and a NICU stay\, after a global pandemic that left us all isolated\, and with a brilliant and curious and clingy and sensitive boy\, I am still learning that motherhood is not so interested in our plans. \nThis series began as an effort to find myself in my life as a mom\, to avoid becoming consumed by my role as caretaker\, and to reframe my lamenting of what was not into an appreciation for what is. Capturing these parenting moments helped me rise above the big emotions of the time and see the beauty and the comedy\, the agony and the peace in the mundane. \nAs Karen Maezen Miller writes in Momma Zen\, “… the most devastating loss is not the loss of sleep\, it is the loss of what you thought was yours.” I felt this loss immediately and this series has helped me let go of my original vision of motherhood and embrace the experience of motherhood that is mine. \nThrough this work\, I hope to create more space for the complexities of the motherhood experience\, to give more room for the fierceness of the love\, the depth of the overwhelm\, the pain of the isolation\, and the true joy that can be found in mothering in community. I share these photos to validate the role and experience of all mothers. I hope this particular view of motherhood offers a sense of solidarity to all\, especially those who feel alone in this monumental\, mundane endeavor. \nArtist bio: \nKelley Jordan Schuyler uses photography to capture light\, emotion\, and moments as they unfold around her. Since receiving a camera at age 15\, it has become an extension of her self and a way to make meaning of the world around her – the subtleties and nuances she’s attuned to as a Highly Sensitive Person; the natural world she cares for as a forager and plant enthusiast; and the relational dynamics she’s mindful of as a partner\, friend\, and mother. Professionally\, she photographs families as Kelley Jordan Photography and food as Skyler Creative\, and she co-runs Mad Farmers’ Nursery\, a plant nursery in downtown Indianapolis. Personally\, she raises a small human as Mom.

Every third Wednesday evening at the Tube Factory\, Michelle Niemann and C.S.

SUMMARY:Aurora Cyanotype Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Cyanotype is a camera-less photography made out in the sun\, rather than in a darkroom. You place objects — such as plants — on top of a piece of photo-treated paper\, and then use the sun to expose the paper. The result is an image that is an exact outline of the object. It’s a fun and magical way to engage photography! Although it may be new to modern people\, cyanotype has been around since photography was invented in the 1800s.Come explore the creative possibilities of this fascinating process! \nThis activity is best suited for artists 7+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult. \nSPARK is a partnership with Downtown Indy @downtownindy the City of Indianapolis @indy_dmd and the Indiana War Memorials Commission – and funded by the Capital Improvements Board. It is a continuation of our work last year and in 2015 on the Circle.\nAt Big Car\, we approach our work at the Circle as a site- and community-specific socially engaged art and creative placemaking project.

SUMMARY:Lunch Break Live! With Keith Beatty Presented By Lake City Bank
DESCRIPTION:Hands down…Keith Beatty was born to sing. Growing up in Indianapolis and moving on to sing in the Indiana University Choral Ensemble\, the crooner made his mark on teachers and students and was known as the man with the melodic voice.\nUnleashing the music deep down\, Beatty writes music for life\, not hype. He sings with passion\, emphasis\, and with a way that will warm the coldest heart. He speaks truth to his listeners giving them a dose of reality a la his life experiences.\nAs a true talent that can draw you in with one stroke of his guitar\, Beatty strongly believes music is life recorded\, and those who love R&B and Soul will hear sweet sounds out of lips that only bring what’s real. Like the songs sang by Aretha Franklin and the Temptations\, Keith Beatty’s songs will be added to the history books as songs from an artist with true talent.\n\nLunch Break Live! is presented by Lake City Bank.\n\nWe at Big Car are teaming up with Downtown Indy and the City of Indianapolis — with support from the Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana War Memorials Commission— to spark Monument Circle with human-scale activities like games\, live music\, artmaking\, and socializing in a comfortable place.\n\nSPARK on the Circle is an ongoing partnership between Big Car Collaborative\, Downtown Indy\, City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development\, the Capital Improvement Board\, and the Indiana War Memorials Commission.
