On Saturday, May 8, I stopped by the Evan Lurie Gallery in Carmel. The gallery has been a steady presence in the city since Nov. 2007, but now there was a âMoving Saleâ sign on the gallery window.
Susan Brewer, a longtime Indianapolis artist based at the Stutz, where she has studio space, was seated behind the desk when I walked in. She told me that Lurie had just secured a new lease on a gallery space in Miami, Fla., where most of his client base is located.
âIâm gonna miss this,â she said, referring to the gallery, where she has worked for three years, and her conversations with potential clients about art.
Outdoor venues continue to multiply in 2021.
Last year, arts groups scrambled to fashion stages within mere weeks as the coronavirus pandemic brought indoor entertainment to a halt. Their efforts were worth it audiences snapped up tickets to events that allowed social distance, fresh air and fun.
Now, armed with a year of planning, the venues that were new last year are returning with upgrades. And more are entering the outdoor realm for the first time, too. Here are the spots where you ll find live music, plays, poetry, movies, dance and art tours all summer long.

The Harrison Center is now an art playground. Named Convertible, the project takes a building that already brims with fine art and adds creative elements that will have visitors singing in a karaoke elevator and whipping a tetherball on the roof.
The goal is to change the way people interact with art and to welcome those who might not have spent much time around galleries to the center s artist studios and display spaces.
The concept was officially born in 2018 when the Harrison Center, at 1505 N. Delaware St., received more than $2.1 million from the Lilly Endowment to transform its longtime home. But a seed for the project actually appeared much earlier in the form of the large wooden table that resides in the Harrison Gallery ceiling. It descends for events like Art Dish, a monthly dinner series that s centered around a particular artist and their work.
