Indianapolis Art Center As I walk into the museum I see a huge stone sculpture with marbles on it for the gallery. I can smell scent of all of the verities of all of the flowers behind me I can hear the echo of the loud tour guide in the huge gallery filled with amazing pieces if artwork from artists and styles around the country. I have just arrived at the Indianapolis art center looking for a well spent hour here!!!

The art center was founded in 1934 by Works projects administration (WPA) during the great depression to provide plenty of jobs. It was burnt down in 1958. After the fire, funds were being raised by the art league for a new facility. In 1960 the art center became incorporated as the Indiana art league. They finally raised $300,000 and built a new facility.

The art center provides classes for people/students for age groups ranging from 2 -102. The classes include glassblowing, drawing, painting, metal smiting, pottery, and much more. Each exhibit you can take a class to learn that type of artwork such as my father who takes a glassblowing class provided by the Indianapolis art center. The art center has a library filled with books and more books with an occasional sculpture on the walls.

Indianapolis art center also did a project called beyond perceptions where high school students they would draw what they thought homelessness is. Then they would do a tour of the shelter and met some people in the shelter and draw an after piece they would do this every year in the month of June. They have done this project for two years now.
