The Harrison Center for the Arts and the Spirit & Place event, Genius Loci: Herman B Wells and the Spirit of Place are seeking artists to participate in a group exhibit in the City Gallery to open on Friday, November 4, 2016.
What is “home” and what does it mean to us? We often think of home as the building that offers us refuge from the world, or as the people who call us their own. But what if the essence of home runs deeper than bricks and mortar or a cast of characters? What if the spirit of a place is what makes it “home?” Herman B Wells, the legendary president of Indiana University, certainly thought so.
They invite you to capture what you believe to be the essence of “home in Indiana” in what will be a cohesive, yet by no means homogenous, show in the City Gallery. Our desire for this show is for its artists to creatively and uniquely portray what exactly “home” means to them in the hopes that these interpretations will spur on the conversation surrounding what the spirit of home in Indiana truly is. The idea of Genius Loci, latin for “spirit of place,” should drive artists to contemplate the essence of “home” in and through their work.
Submission of work:
Send all submissions to Pam Allee (pam@harrisoncenter.org) and Andrew Christenberry (aj.christenberry@gmail.com) with “Spirit & Place Submission” in the subject line.
Show Dates: November 4 through November 23, 2016 in the City Gallery located in the Harrison Center for the Arts, 1505 N Delaware St, Indianapolis, IN 46202.
Requirements for participating artists:
An artist can convey the spirit of “home” in Indiana in a way that few can. Your visual voice and personal aesthetic are unique pieces of Indiana’s genius loci so please join in the great conversation and ponder “home” with the Harrison Center.
