TOYS: A Show with Chutzpah!

It’s the return of our  invitational holiday art exhibit, TOYS. This year’s art showcase will take place at ArtBox in the Stutz II Building – 217 West 10th St. Suite 125 (map) on Friday, December 4, 2009 from 5 to 11 p.m. This seventh installment will exhibit art fashioned around the theme of toys, and invited artists are free to interpret the theme however they see fit.

Twenty artists have been invited to produce artwork for this year’s exhibition:

• Ryan Alvis
• Julie Cifuentes
• Lauren Ditchley
• Mab Graves
• Blythe Hager
• Susanna Hoone
• Corey Jefferson
• Jeff Jeffries
• Josh Johnson
• Holly Jordan
• Ben Long
• Mamus
• Kris May
• Kipp Normand
• William Denton Ray
• Dane Sauer
• Aaron Scamihorn

Exhibiting artists keep 100% of the proceeds they receive from the sale of their art.

There is no admission fee for this free event, which coincides with the IDADA (Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association) First Friday Art Tour.

This year, Primary Colours is teaming up with Second Helpings and asks attendees to bring dry pasta that volunteers will collect at the door. “Second Helpings provides a valuable service to the community in its mission to eliminate hunger,” says Primary Colours executive director Hugh Vandivier. “They’ve told us that they consistently need more donations of dry pasta, so we’re asking our patrons to bring some along to the show.”
