Inspired by his own practice and an interest in further developing the arts community associated with Indy Hall, Mike Jackson approached Sean Martorana with an idea for a group show based on the music that is usually playing through the Hall’s speakers and its effect on his work. Realizing an opportunity for collaboration, the impromptu curators immediately put out a Call for Artists. The response they received was overwhelming, fostering an extended dialogue among the creators within the existing coworking community.
“We want to let people know that we’re not just a tech community (which is what I thought before I joined), or a community that is limited by any categorization at all. We’re people who have an interest in a craft—any craft—and want to share it.” Mike Jackson described his experience at Indy Hall in a recent interview with Technically Media, “the people who paint and draw and photograph started @indyhall_arts because that’s the role we play in the community. It’s a direct way for us to find others who see the arts as their opportunity to leave a mark on the city. I love coming to Indy Hall and being surprised at finding out what another member is capable of.”
“The people who are attracted to Indy Hall seem to have a universal appreciation for art, and many of them are even trained and hobby artists, even if it’s not their primary profession,” said Alex Hillman, co-founder of Indy Hall. “Indy Hall Arts and the MIA show are asking people to sharpen their tools and come together, showing what happens when Indy Hall’s approach to community and collaboration hit the world of fine art and ultimately broaden our community. We’re so excited to see what all of the world thinks of the work of the people who’ve contributed to this show. This is just the beginning.”
