Herron Galleries

Herron Galleries (located at Herron School of Art + Design at IUPUI) is probably my most visited art gallery in Indy. They typically have exhibitions featuring visiting artists as well as faculty and alumni. Most of the displayed works can be considered contemporary, and can range across the entire art spectrum. The variety of works at the exhibitions are always interesting and unexpected. The opening receptions are typically accompanied by artists talks.Besides ongoing exhibitions, one of the most popular events at Herron Galleries is the end of the year student show. At the end of the semester, the galleries celebrate the work of graduating students. It is a great opportunity to appreciate the works of emerging artists and designers. The students are usually available to explain their works in more detail.The exhibitions and events at Herron Galleries are generally free and open to the public. It is a great place to check out some contemporary art and see something interesting.

A big pot of gold must've dropped at the feet of the University to build this beautiful art school building. Usually, art schools are grungy places because art making is grungy. I know my way around a few art schools, and this is a really nice place with a great gallery for exhibitions. The gallery I saw is one huge enclosed room with good lighting. Be sure to get your parking validated.
