I feel like a saw a total of 3 or 4 artists of color. Really disappointed in that. With Butter just a week ago, I think we can all agree there are plenty out there. - where were the free water stations? You're putting people in an outdoor venue on hot summer day and no free refillable water stations? Cmon, it's 2022 lol - more shaded seating would have been nice too! Now that the tips are outta the way, this was a super fun event and I will def be back in the future. The art was mostly too pricy for me but then again, I'm not an art dealer that can afford $$$$ on art. I loved the variety of jewelry, glassware, paintings, photography, and more.

This was a fun festival to attend. Would I go every year? Probably not, but definitely worth going…read moreevery once in a while. I tried several different foods - fettuccine, fried ravioli, meatballs on a stick and cannoli. The fettuccine was not great. This one would be a skip for me - the noodles were overcooked and the sauce was very average. I LOVED the meatballs on a stick. That red sauce was amazing and I 100 percent recommend getting some of that and sticking with the red sauce based foods. Fried ravioli was alright. I have had better but it was satisfactory and a good way to start my food journey through the festival. The cannolis were excellent too. I saved one for the next day and it stayed crispy and delicious. There is music, some carnival type activities and something to note: food tickets are cash only!

The exhibits inside feature Indianapolis African-American history as well as broader African-American and African history. The space is small for a museum, but massive for what it is.

Admission is $9 for adults and there is a large parking lot on the 10th st side of the school. I was there with a small group and we had an appointment; I would check first because I am not sure if the hours are by-appointment only. We were greeted and given a wonderful presentation by nad discussion with the curator, as well as walked around on our own. The museum has some info on Crispus Attucks, the first person killed in Boston in the upcoming age of the Boston Tea Party and Revlutionary War. Also some information about the history of the High School, including their state champion basketball team, and segregation in Indianapolis. Also some hsmall exhibits of poeple of color in the Indinaapolis music scene, and also an exhibit about serving in the military. One of the traveling/temporary exhibits when I was there was about lynching. There was specific signage in this area requesting no photos or video, so I do not have pics of that. Go see it in person and educate yourself. The last lynching in the US happened in 1930, and it was here in Indiana, not some far away "deep south." It was HERE. There's a photo of beaten, bloody, descirated bodies hanging and a whole crowed of dressed up people spectating, looking unphased like they're just at a street fair. There is also other news articles, art work, etc. Lynching history in the US is beyond horrible, and even if you think you know, go and learn more, and reflect. Was there in Feb 2024, and other exhibits included some of ancient Egypt , Ethiopa, Timbuktu, and other parts of Africa. Of particular interest to me also was some customary fabric for clothing, many articfacts, and descriptions of the symbolism in the fabric patterns, so I have included pics of that here. Definitely worth the visit. #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #WorldHistory #ReviewsByRL

Did you know that The Conrad Hotel has a gorgeous, well-curated art gallery within its walls?!…read moreAccessible either through the hotel lobby or through the gallery's own entrance on Illinois Street, anyone can walk through the doors and enjoy the art, for FREE. Just be sure to check their hours, as they're different from the hotel's! The gallery only has two locations: NYC and Indianapolis. I feel pretty blessed that our city has such an esteemed spot. Boasting both local art and world-famous art, this gallery switches out exhibits every few months, and holds a first Friday party when they have a new one. Currently, their winter exhibit is called "Rock, Paper, Metal" that will be up until February 2020. Long-Sharp Gallery curates the art in the entire hotel. The Conrad has world-renowned art allllll throughout. Boasting names like Dali, Picasso and Warhol, you'll be amazed by what you encounter by simply stepping inside. There are even several art ambassadors on hand to take you around the hotel and show you some of the masterpieces. So fun!

What I really love about the space is that the collection is not just limited to the designated gallery space; you can find pieces from the collection throughout the hotel's public spaces. Also, pieces from the collection are featured in the museum's gallery rooms, which are available for use in the hotel itself. Long-Sharp is free to visit; simply make an appointment with the gallery staff, or stop by during their normal open hours.

What a fun event during these quarantine times!…read more This was a weekend to go and try out work out classes all across the Indianapolis area. This is something I always want to do but with class costs and limited weekend offers, never got the chance to do. The first day consisted or puppies, outdoor workout, and adorable workout clothes, what could be better! I won a gift card and purchased some cute workout apparel! Then over the weekend I tried several new classes, but my favorite was the dance cardio, and solid core. The dance cardio was way out of my Comfort zone, but such a good time! Solid core was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken, and hard to catch onto- but talk about a good workout I was sore for days! I encourage this event in the future just with more details on how many classes you can take, and more class offerings they filled up super quick. Thanks for the fun event and getting me outdoors!
