Ceramic inspirational art by Mindy and Greg Rhodes kept visitors studying their pieces for longer periods. These 3 dimensional pieces incorporate tiles with short poems, sayings, or simply a word or two. Bits of second-hand recycled items add to the mosaics.

Doug Sweet of Karuna Glass explained that these "Rooters" are meant to serve as small pots to allow a seedling to sprout roots. I just liked the way they caught the sunshine at the 2011 Broad Ripple Art Fair.
