Buzzing Around Town

Spring Gallery Tour
Broad Ripple
Friday, May 10, 2013
5 - 9 pm, all-ages, free
Woo hoo! Spring is here and the Gallery Tour is a sure sign that we made it thought the winter. There are 21 stops on the tour; some traditional galleries: Sigman's, Hoosier Salon, The Indianapolis Art Center, Editions Limited Gallery of Fine Art, Fine Estate Art & Rugs, Artifacts, and Ashland Gallery and some not-so traditional: Flanner & Buchanan, Just Pop In!, Urban Optiks, Carpenter Realtors, and Marigold Clothing.
All of the participating places will be open until 9, many offering snacks and libations along with the terrific art. This is a great chance to reacquaint yourselves with your neighbors after the long winter and soggy start to spring. I'll be working at Marigold that evening. Swing in and say hello.

Enjoy the art and the music. I'll see you there!



Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
