Get a taste of everything the 2026 IndyFringe Festival presented by Everwise Credit Union has to offer!
It's time for the 2026 IndyFringe Festival, and there's no better introduction than Festival preview night.
Hosted by Stella Magnolia and comedian Shannon Samson - with help from the delightful clown, "Snowflake," each of our participating artists in the Festival gets 2 minutes to prove to you why their show is the one to see!
Experience live music, campy comedy, moving storytelling, and lots of incredible surprises in this highly anticipated event.
While there are many family-friendly activities at the IndyFringe Festival, including the new Lumina Foundation KidZone, this event is recommended for audience members 16+ as there may be foul language and mature themes.
Tickets to preview night are free, but an RSVP is required as this event sells out!

Precious Metal Clay Workshop: Copper & Bronze Pendants 

Harrison Center

Join us for First Friday! 
Enjoy these openings: In the Harrison Gallery, Oasis by Israel Solomon. This show is an exploration of refuge, comfort, and renewal. Created during a transition from acrylic to oil paint, these abstract still lifes and dreamlike landscapes embrace intuition. Rather than telling a single story, the work invites viewers to interpret each piece from their experiences and discover an oasis of their own.
In the Gallery Annex, Remnants and Fractures by Quincy Owens. This show comprises two bodies of work that play off of each other, stark black-and-white resin pieces against a group of vivid paintings. Owens seeks to explore how the left and right hemispheres of his brain work together but separately, exploring beauty in fractures and faults.
In the Speck Gallery, What Was Carried, a group show. This exhibition brings together artists who have survived sexual abuse and are sharing their experiences through creative expression. Rather than offering explanations or resolutions, the works create space for honesty, dignity, and healing, demonstrating how art can help transform fragmented experiences into shared stories.
In the City Gallery, Nature in the City by Amy Martin. Martin celebrates the ways nature and urban life coexist in Indianapolis. Through oil paintings and paper and wire sculptures, the exhibition highlights the native plants, insects, trees, waterways, and skies that bring life to the city, instead of opposition.
In the Sky Gallery, IMMERSION by Jason Zickler. In his large-scale epoxy resin and acrylic paintings, Jason Zickler layers saturated neon color beneath glass-like resin, an invitation to step inside the surface. Exploring tension between control and spontaneity, these works transform painting from an object to observe into an atmosphere to experience.
In the Underground Gallery, Q. Is this all there is? A. Probably is a series of acrylic paintings by Cameron Omega that explores the idea that two conflicting truths can exist at once. Inspired by Renaissance compositions and monochromatic works by Mark Tansey, the paintings depict scenes from everyday life that feel both mundane and extraordinary.
In the Hank &amp; Dolly’s Gallery, Third Person by Johnny McKee and Kyle Ragsdale. McKee and Ragsdale use the harmony and contrast of their artistic styles to have conversations with each other through a variety of mediums including oil paint and collage. With each pass, the pieces diversify in their exposition and reveal new landscapes, all through an unspoken dialogue.

Guests can also enjoy: In the Historic Gymnasium, explore Mini FoodCon 2026! This unconventional, annual convention will celebrate Indiana's food culture and heritage. Enjoy delicious, locally baked food items and support Indy small businesses at FoodCon’s bake sale, run by Emily Brungard of @tasteindianapolis.
On the Sky Deck, live Bossara music will be performed throughout the evening. Come dance and listen to smooth Brazilian jazz!
In the Courtyard, engage with Se(e) Change, a large-scale public installation by artists Michelle Walkey-Thornburg and Aaron Thornburg.
Hungry? Grab a bite across the courtyard from Indi Taco food truck for delicious and authentic Indian-Mexican cuisine. Cool off with free ice cream at the Courtyard entrance!

All shows will open at 6:00 pm on Friday, August 7th, 2026.
Visitors can take in-person gallery tours Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. Online galleries will open on August 8th. You can make an appointment or view the online galleries at harrisoncenter.org/buy-art.
Special Senior Hours are every Friday from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm. No appointment is needed.

With support from Indy Arts Council, City of Indianapolis, Indiana Arts Commission, Lilly Endowment Inc., and Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation.
