The Arts Council of Indianapolis and Primary Colours collaborate each year to offer a series of professional development workshops for central Indiana artists. Past topics have included accounting, legal matters, portfolio development, photographing your own artwork, technology issues for artists, writing your artist statement, grant writing for artists and more. For this, our eighth year, we are leaving the summer months to drinks on patios and long weekends at the lake and starting our workshop series early this year.  Stay tuned for topics, presenters and more details on spring and fall workshops coming soon.
Upcoming Workshops:
 March 21:  The Supplemental Materials Seminar
April 11:  Handling, Packing and Shipping Artwork
April 25:  How to Become a Teaching Artist

First in our spring series:

March 21: The Supplemental Materials Seminar

When submitting to any professional opportunity, your supplemental materials such as work samples, reviews and other print material can be just as important as the project or grant itself. In order to be taken seriously by a panel of professionals selecting grants or commissions, your supplemental materials must be professional and top notch. Come to this workshop to see examples of good and bad submissions. Learn what panels are looking for and what turns them off right away. If you plan on submitting for a grant, residency or gallery show this year, this workshop is a must do.

When: Wednesday, March 21, 6-7pm
Where: Arts Council of Indianapolis
924 N. Pennsylvania St
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Free Parking.
Who: Artists of All Disciplines
Cost: FREE
Presenter: Shannon Linker, Director of Artist Services and Gallery 924, Arts Council of Indianapolis

Seating is limited so please RSVP with your name and the names of any guests who may be joining you to artistservices@indyarts.org. Please put the name of the workshop in the subject line.

Just in time for the Superbowl, we at Primary Colours are proud to present another wonderful show at the Primary Gallery.

Scienceology is an collaborative show  exhibiting the works of Jeff Geesa and Ryan Szeszycki.

What is Scienceology?
Through a representational approach to abstraction (thoroughly abstract concepts made visible) Scienceology explores the nature of understanding, of “knowledge”, and the attempt thereof.  Scienceology is the exploration of science and pseudo-science and is not Science proper.  It is a holistic, however fragmented and incomplete, picture created in equal parts by pieces of knowledge and unimaginably vast areas of ignorance, like particles clustering into the infinitely dense as space expands moving the clusters farther and farther apart. At a certain level of complexity understanding fails and we are left with simplicity, beauty. Occasionally Culture, Science, and the Brain get a fleeting glimpse of the true nature of things. Simple, beautiful.

Hours/Location

Opening reception is on February 3, 2012 (6-10pm) at The Primary Gallery located within the Murphy Arts Center, second floor, suite 217. Closing reception will occur on February 17, 2012 (6-9pm).
