Evening with the Stars Ballet
A year ago the Indianapolis City Ballet presented one of the most diverse ballet programs, with some of the worlds best talent, to grace a stage in Indianapolis. This year they are once again raising the . . . barre. Ballet Barre that is. Travis DiNicola spoke with founders Jane Fortune and Bob Hesse, as well as ICB’s Executive Director, Kevin Hesse, and Director of Marketing, Elli Barker, about what stars are coming out for this year’s performance. An Evening with the Stars 2010 takes place on Saturday, September 11 at the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre. The ICB is also offering a number of master classes this year as well.

IAC Open House
On Friday, September 10, the Indianapolis Art Center will host its annual Open House from 6 to 8 pm, and visitors will have the chance to see demonstrations and hands-on art activities in every studio, shop the Basile Gift Shop sidewalk sale, buy a student-made bowl and get it filled with chili to benefit the Art Center’s programs, sample food from Qdoba and Broad Ripple Ice Cream Station. And as if that isn't enough, visitors can see exhibits of works by faculty and by award-winning student artists including Lisa VanMeter, Alice Lee, Shelby Bertsch and Marty Friedman.
Marty was the Overall Winner of the Indianapolis Art Center's 2009 Student Show, and Sharon invited him to leave the studio to talk with her about how he got started in ceramics – and why he thought the you-have-won-an-award letter might be a mistake. You can see Marty's work in the Sarah Hurt Gallery during the Indianapolis Art Center's Open House on Friday, September 10, from 6 to 8 pm. Actually, you can see it now, and it's on display through October 3. If you go to the open house, be sure to look for student and faculty work on exhibit throughout the building, and visit all the studios. There's something to see or do in each one.
