Recycling in the Ripple
Did you know? Broad Ripple Park has recycling bins for cardboard, paper, and cans. The bins are located in the back of the park by the tennis courts (Evanston Street entrance).


It's a Material World
A new exhibit opens at the Art Center on June 12, 2015, Material World. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. they will have a reception including food and drinks where you can meet the artist. Material World is interesting. From a video artist using found YouTube clips to sculptures made from repurposed dryer lint, this exhibit presents a fresh look into how artists push the boundaries of materials in today's world.
Also at the Art Center this summer:
Aristotle Georgiades and Gail Simpson are exhibiting. They produce work using found or salvaged materials. Georgiades and Simpson address the subjective quality of memory and our attachment to objects and materials from the past.
Cathy Kravitz explores a variety of mediums in her recent work including painting, collage, printmaking and ceramics.
Teresa Lind activates ArtsPark's East Sculpture Pads with her mixed media outdoor works that touch upon the ideas of labor and gender.
