Indianapolis Art Center

Pearl Jam in Chicago, Chef’s Night Off, an al fresco movie night, and more.

Classes and workshops designed to grow your DIY know-how.

“All of the undergarments you need are sewn in, which is a plus.”

“I frequent the museums, including the wonderful Indianapolis Art Center,” Knabe says. “I don’t know of another one of that caliber anywhere else.”

Grab your crochet needles and your woodworking bench. It’s time to get crafty with these do-it-yourself classes.

@IUBloomington offers the week’s best #humblebrag: “Just another day at IU (with Grammy Award winner Joshua Bell and Academy Award winner Meryl Streep).”

From the Monon, the Nina Mason Pulliam Sensory Path at the Indianapolis Art Center looks like little more than a short, landscaped walk. But infrared sensors hidden among the plants detect passersby and trigger eerie sounds that are hard to locate.

“The Monon Trail served as a catalyst for bringing special people together in a way that genuinely amazes me,” says his daughter, Diane Scott.

Don’t try to make new friends. Even so, the people-watching is first class. Just don’t gawk.

If you braved the heat a month ago at the 42nd Broad Ripple Art Fair, you probably remember cooling off indoors and wandering around one of the Indianapolis Art Center’s spacious, white-walled galleries. This month through August 5, you need not be hard-pressed for a reason to come back.
