INDIANAPOLIS, — Friday, June 1 is First Friday throughout Indianapolis. At the Harrison Center, 1505 N. Delaware, “Points of Reference” will be featured with an artist reception from 6 to 9 p.m. The Harrison Gallery showcases Jerry Points’ abstracted landscapes in “The Gathering.” In the Speck Gallery, building on last year’s Lake Isle of Innisfree exhibit and performance, the Harrison Center and Indianapolis Choral Artisans present Come to the Woods, a collaborative exhibit featuring readings, visual art and choral music inspired by the writings of the famed Scottish-American naturalist and conservationist John Muir.
At Indiana Landmarks, 1201 N. Central, the June First Friday art show presents “Off the Record: The Melody of Fine and Underground Art.” The group show displays the work of 28 artists inspired by punk aesthetics, rock music, pop culture, and political topics.
The Circle City Industrial Complex Artists (CCIC Artists), 1125 Brookside Ave., will host a variety of artists as part of the June First Friday art tour. Brookside Avenue has been closed due to road construction, starting just after the Centerpoint Brewing parking lot, on the south end of the CCIC. To reach the CCIC’s large free parking lot, visitors should continue east on 10th Street, past the Dorman Street stoplight. They should then turn left at Arsenal Avenue, just across from IPS Brookside School 54. Banners have been tied to the fencing around the parking lot, and visitors should enter by taking a left (west) off of Arsenal onto 12th Street. All building entrances are accessible as usual, but visitors should take care crossing the street, as its condition changes daily.
