HOPE SPRINGS... OPENING FRIDAY, MAY 2!
Viewing days: May 2 - June 19th, 2025 | Gallery days/hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm (GALLERY IS CLOSED SUNDAYS & MONDAYS)
HOPE SPRINGS... explores the interplay between fragility and strength, light and shadow, despair and possibility. Through painting, sculpture, mixed media, and photography, the artists capture the essence of hope—delicate yet unyielding, fleeting yet eternal.
Each piece in this exhibition tells a story of emergence, whether inspired by personal struggle, social change, or the cyclical rebirth found in nature. The imagery of sprouting seeds, sunlit horizons, and determined blooms serves as a metaphor for the human spirit’s ability to endure and flourish, even in the harshest conditions.
As winter’s grip loosens and new life begins, Hope springs... invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys of renewal, reminding us that hope, like spring, always returns—sometimes quietly, sometimes defiantly, but always with the promise of something new.

Time Travelers: The Sycamore Building
-
6:00 PM 7:00 PM
Join us for the May Time Travelers!
This open house style event will give you an inside look into the iconic Sycamore Building in downtown Terre Haute.
Century 21 realtor Brandon Halleck serves as the leasing agent and has invited the Time Travelers for a look inside! We're most excited to (hopefully, weather permitting) get a bird's eye view of Terre Haute from the rooftop.
Admission to Time Travelers is free for History Center members. Additional tickets can be purchased here.

Work In Progress Exchange Labs
Indiana artists seek spaces to spark organic relationships and networks within and beyond their respective disciplines. Designed to provide network and connection for primarily emerging artists across the state, Work In Progress Exchange Labs is a pilot program from the IAC. Artists will meet monthly across regions of the state to share their career updates, challenges they are facing, and build community hubs dedicated to creatives. Artists who participate in these small groups will also be eligible for small support grants on a rolling basis. Learn more about the program at in.gov/arts and register meetings!
Thank you for submitting your FY2026 Spring Arts Project Support or FY2026-2027 Arts Organization Support applications.
Miss the application deadline? Arts Project Support applications will open again on July 8th, 2025.
Indiana Arts Commission Launches Business Strategy Program for Creative Entrepreneurs
The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) is now accepting applications for The Creative Leap, a new workshop series focused on business strategy for creative entrepreneurs in Indiana. This series covers strategic planning in an application-based content format to support established creative businesses and will be led by Dr. Elaine Grogan Luttrull of Minerva Financial Arts.
The Creative Leap is comprised of four virtual workshops in July and August. The program is designed to support established creative entrepreneurs in Indiana accomplish financial and marketing goals for their artistic practice by deepening their business strategy. Up to fifteen creative business owners will be selected for the cohort. Selected members who participate in the full workshop series and subsequent coaching sessions will receive a $1,000 honorarium to put toward purchasing business resources that have been identified during the series to accompany their newly developed business strategy.
The Creative Leap is designed for creative entrepreneurs who have been in business for a minimum of five to seven years looking to inject strategic energy into their existing practice.
In the fall of 2023, the Indiana Arts Commission launched a statewide Artist Needs Assessment to inform new and refined services and programming for artists and creative small businesses in Indiana. The Creative Leap was designed to meet needs identified by the assessment process, including a need for marketing support and education and a need for networking and connection among small businesses.
“Indiana’s creative entrepreneurs strengthen our economy,” said Jordan Adams, IAC Artists Services Manager. “The Indiana Arts Commission is excited to invest in these Hoosier small businesses and help artists take the next step in their careers through The Creative Leap.”
The deadline to apply to participate in The Creative Leap is June 13, 2025.
Learn more about The Creative Leap and how to apply.
