Exhibits & Events
Support local artists, innovators, and creators and join in on the number of special events and curated exhibitions happening in February to honor Black History Month. The Indianapolis Arts Coincils 27th Annual Art & Soul celebration returns in this month, showcasing Black art and music in Indianapolis. With a theme this year of “Kings and Queens,” Indy Arts Council’s largest public program will consist of three marquee events this February. For more performing arts, visit the Madam Walker Legacy Center on February 10 for the Discovering Broadway's "Five Points" Musical Concert. Set in New York City in 1863, amidst the tumult of the Civil War, the story follows Willie Lane, a young African American performer at the famed Almack’s Dance Hall, and John Diamond, an Irish immigrant and former jig champion. To celebrate the visual arts, explore We. The Culture: Works from the Eighteen Art Collective at Newfields. The exhibit, curated by GANGGANG, features the eighteen artists behind the letters of the 2020 "Black Lives Matter" mural along historic Indiana Avenue. For an interactive experience, visit Selfie WRLD, an attraction devoted to the art of personal photography. This month, Indianapolis-based artist Rockland Page is featured in the space, whose art tells the story of Black leaders and entrepreneurs.
