INDIANAPOLIS — On Friday, November 3, the Harrison Center presents Other People’s Children, new work by celebrated local artist and HCA curator, Kyle Ragsdale in the Harrison Gallery and Gallery Annex. An artist reception will take place that evening from 6:00 to 9:00pm. This work combines the figurative work Ragsdale is best known for with the plein air work he has done more recently. His subjects appear in landscapes. He returned to landscapes he painted with fellow artists Justin Vining and Benny Sanders and photographed the kids in these same settings.
The release of the 10th anniversary edition of Naplab’s Neighborhoods of Indianapolis poster will take place in the Speck Gallery foyer. The work hangs through November 24.
