IDADA (Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association) is pleased to present its 8th Annual IDADA Membership Exhibition. This juried exhibition will showcase the quality and diverse talents of the IDADA membership and will be hosted by the Harrison Center for the Arts in Gallery No. 2 located at 1505 N. Delaware St. from September 7-28, 2012.

The show features 37 works of a variety of media from 30 different local artists. This year’s exhibition was judged by Michelle Grabner, a professor and chair of the painting and drawing department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Grabner is also an art writer for several publications, co-director at The Suburban, an independently run artist exhibition space in Oak Park, Illinois, where artists are given complete control in regards to what they want to produce and exhibit, and she is co-director at Poor Farm, a 6,000 square-foot exhibition space that provides artists with a place to stay while researching and creating their year-long exhibitions and projects.
