Big Car is attempting to build up the Garfield Park area as a local creative art community/colony. I had to admit that I was unfamiliar with the Garfield Park area, as it was a neighborhood I avoided in the past. I was surprised to see this small hip location right across the street from a local coffee shop I've never heard of (i.e. Garfield Eatery & Coffee Shop). The Listen Hear building was heavily renovated and has a minimalist industrial vibe, so better to showcase current art exhibits. Coffee and water were available at my event, and they may expand into beer/alcohol later on. When I visited in April 2016, a turntable and large display of vinyl from Luna was available to peruse, while we waited for our Prince Rama show to begin. Once the show started, the atmosphere was intimate and spotlighted the band well. I highly recommend checking out this space if the opportunity arises...you'll have a lot of hope about the future of the neighborhood as a result.

Their scents are seductive and concentrated, not flowery. Onto the middle room of this smallish space, a tall floorlamp caught my eye. The rectangular lampshade was covered with see-through black fabric, but closer inspection revealed a lighter undershade. So Chanel. The back room has cosmopolitan art. Minimalist prints of white chandeliers carved on black backgrounds, or neutral-colored buildings bring quiet class to a room. There's lots of consultation opportunity here, too. And a shelf of design magazines indexed in the back room for quick reference.

This was…read moremore art gallery than museum, as the nice lady was a bit surprised when I came in and asked to see the art. But with plexiglass and masks, plus the fact that I was the only one here made for an interesting experience. Lots of landscapes and a few portraits. Amazing interesting and the talent of the artist shines through. The gallery is a great collection of his works and worth a visit. Oh, and it's free. I agree with Ken's point. There are no captions or explanations with the pictures. Those would really help. Street parking and nothing for sale here. [Review 13519 overall, 838 of 2020.]

During regular office hours (M-F 9-5), visitors may view the dozens of representative pieces in numerous styles in the gallery. The colorful and whimsical landscapes are from his native Greece as well as of time spent in Indiana. Most of the paintings are in bright autumn colors. But don't be fooled by the whimsy. Below the large paintings are a couple smaller paintings that have the most realistic water images I have ever seen in a painting! Absolutely amazing! Towards the back of the gallery are pieces that represent the dark experience and observations of the artist from World War II. The color and whimsy of the landscapes really contrast the dark tones of this part of the collection. The caricatures of each painting express the emotions that many of the people experienced during the period of war. The gallery also has a nook where other style of painting are represented. My only negative about the gallery is that there has been no attempt at labeling any of the pieces. Some of the signatures include year references, but otherwise, there is very little information. No flyers or handouts. The only information about the artist or any of his work is at the website. If they would add small descriptions for each piece, it would add to the experience for the viewer.

During the seasonal gallery walk in Carmel's Arts and Design District, we stopped in to take a closer look. There are many paintings here that I just love, especially a Fall scene that looks like a photograph if you squint your eyes ever so slightly while gazing at it. Our other favorites include a range of floral paintings rendered in bright and deep hues that are simply breathtaking. I would provide the artists' names in this review, but I cannot pull them from memory and a trip to the gallery Web site did not prove helpful at all - for a gallery with the inventory this place has, the site is disappointingly sparse in terms of digital images. Speaking of inventory, I did think Art & Soul was something of a sensory overload - at least for the eyes - as its works are kind of crowded together. Now, I am not a professional and have no gallery experience to fall back on, but I do appreciate the airy layout of Evan Lurie much better. I find it tough to truly enjoy one painting I may be attracted to when another is creeping in and imposing itself from the periphery. Also, we were not greeted in this store, either. We wanted to know more about the prices of the above-mentioned paintings, but we didn't want to interrupt the staff member's noshing. Weird, going on a gallery walk and not being approached or spoken to kind of feels like more of a trip to the art MUSEUM.

This beautiful Victorian structure was built as the sheriff's home and jail for Hamilton County…read more The historic facility built in 1876 and operated as a jail until 1977 (over 100 years). The residence sits continently next to the Courthouse on the Square in Noblesville. Today, the home is operated as a museum by the Hamilton County Historical Society and is opened to the public on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Sandy is the curator and was welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about preserving the local history. We were welcomed to explore the beautifully preserved home and jail at our own pace. The home is filled with period pieces dating around 1900. There front two rooms are filled with cases of artifacts and memorabilia from the county and town of Noblesville. There is also a small gift shop with postcards and shirts. The jail has 16 cells for men and 4 cells for women. The women's cells were added later. The cells have plumbing and are adjoined to a dining cell, where the sheriff's wife would have provided meals. The jail is set up so that visitors can imagine what life would have been like during incarceration. Charles Manson was an inmate at the age of 15 and stayed in the women's cells. D. C. Stephenson was another infamous inmate of the jail. Their stories are told on boards. The building is on the list of Registered Historic Places. The museum is free to the public but accepts donations. There is limited free parking around the square. Worth a visit if you enjoy history.

I emailed her and as luck would have it she said she could see me while she was visiting San Francisco for a large event she was reading at. She was able to meet with me the morning after her event. We met at an intimate coffee shop that was quiet yet quirky so no one batted an eye at our fortune telling in the corner. Right from the start, I enjoyed her energy and she made me feel welcome and received. She took some magical items out of her bag such as some crystals, a pendulum and other fancy things. My reading itself was so authentic I almost cried. I have been experiencing a lot of grief that she was able to tap into right away. Certain things that she said I can't believe she knew because it was stuff that literally is only in my own head or between me and my departed loved ones. She's very honest too and I loved how she was so personable and so sweet! I felt at ease with her and she really guided me through what I was going through! Anyway without spilling too much of my personal life... she made me feel a bit lighter and like things in my life almost made sense again. She anointed me with healing oils and gave me a recipe for a spell to heal my heart and also a rose quartz that she said would help. If you're getting to get a healing/tarot reading and other services definitely see Patricia Rose! I promise you won't regret it. I suggested her to my sister and my friends!

The candle came in a hefty metal box that made sure it was secure during transport. The candle is elegant looking with it's matte, rough finish and simple decor. The pricing is on the higher end. I've burned it for an hour or so now. The scent isn't overwhelming, which is nice compared to other namebrand candles that you can only burn for minutes cause they're too strong. It has a light, crisp scent and fills the room with its aroma. Would highly recommend checking this local candle company out. Can't wait to try more scents in the future.
