Harrison Center

Join us for First Friday! 5 new shows, vendors, food trucks, and more! No entry fee. Pet-friendly. All ages.
 Enjoy these openings: In the Harrison Gallery, Dust by Jay Parnell. This collection of oil paintings on wood panel serves as a meditation on our own ephemerality. We exist in a constant state of shedding and becoming, intimately connected to the debris we attempt to sweep away. By rendering the invisible visible, Parnell’s art challenges the perception of dust as something to be cleared, reframing it instead as a poetic archive of existence and a quiet monument to passing time.
In the City Gallery, Tending by Morgan Binkerd. In her latest body of work, Binkerd reflects on the creative act of building a life, drawing parallels between her personal journey in Indianapolis and her art-making practice. Through her work, including paintings on sycamore tree bark, she explores the unseen labor of nurturing life, embodying the vital acts of care and transformation inherent in both nature and creativity.
In the Gallery Annex, Inner Peace on a Budget by Yasha Persson. Through this collection, Yasha explores the noble, ridiculous quest for Satori on a dime. By stitching together antique illustrations, forgotten typography, and weathered scraps of history, these two-dimensional collages prove that you don't need a golden temple to find illumination-just a pair of scissors, a decent bargain bin, and a heavy dose of satire.
In the Speck Gallery, LAHI: Weaving Filipino American Stories in Indiana, co-curated by Jingo M. de la Rosa and April Knauber. This group exhibition brings together artists from across Indiana in celebration of Filipino American History Month. Through new and existing works exploring identity, ancestry, immigration, community, and cultural preservation, the artists convey the complexity, resilience, and joy of the Filipino American experience.
In the Underground Gallery, a CompleteLife group exhibit. Artwork created by caregivers, patients, and staff of the IU Health Simon Cancer Center. Each individual piece tells a story of the personal journey of the artist, and this show demonstrates the power of the arts for human connection.
 In the Sky Gallery, Remnants and Fractures by Quincy Owens. This show comprises two bodies of work that play off each other, with stark black-and-white resin pieces set 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.

Guests can also enjoy: In the Historic Gymnasium, explore a variety of bookish vendors gearing up for Indiana Humanities’ Proof: A Midwest Lit Fest.
Hungry? Grab a bite across the courtyard from The Garnacha Spot food truck for delicious street food.

All shows will open at 6:00 pm on Friday, October 2nd, 2026.
Visitors can take in-person gallery tours Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. Online galleries will open on October 3rd. 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.

This isn't just a book release—it's an experience. Voice Lessons is a book for anyone who's achieved more than they imagined but still wonders if there's something more—a guide to stepping out of the scripts we've inherited and reconnecting with the voice that knows what truly matters. The evening brings those ideas to life through live music, storytelling, improvisation, and original songs, creating a celebration that's equal parts concert, conversation, and invitation. You'll laugh, reflect, and leave a little more connected to your own voice.
Featuring the cast of Crossroads Comedy Theater's Study Hall, along with the musical talents of Eric Pedigo
About the Book:
Voice Lessons by Brandon Wilson
an executive coach and songwriter's guide to creating a life you love.
Voice Lessons is a straight-talking guide for high-performing leaders who have achieved more than most—but feel less than they expected. It’s not about blowing up your life or walking away from everything you’ve built. It’s about something harder—and more honest: It’s about telling the truth. Through frameworks, tools, stories, and music, this book helps you step out of the script you’ve been handed and reconnect with the voice underneath it—the one that knows what matters, what doesn’t, and what comes next.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/160984/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info
