🎨🎶 Art is how we connect, and our friends at Arts for Learning Indiana are proving it!
IRCC member Arts for Learning and 1000 Words Gallery invite you to Artists Building Community: How Creativity Connects Schools to the World, a free open-house gallery opening on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This exhibit celebrates three years of Arts for Learning’s signature Artists Building Community Fellowship, an artist-in-residency initiative rooted in school communities. Student and teaching artist work in visual art, dance, and music will be displayed side by side, showcasing what students at Purdue Polytechnic, Match High School, IPS CFI #84, Herron Preparatory Academy, William Penn Middle School, Edison School for the Arts, and Step Ahead have been creating together.
Featured teaching artists include Cathy Morris, Nasreen Khan, Krystal Breakley, Giselle Trujillo, and Gary Gee. Don’t miss the performances and program from 12:30 to 2 p.m.!
This event is part of the Spirit & Place Festival (Nov. 5–15). Admission is free, but please reserve your spot on Eventbrite by searching “Artists Building Community” or “Arts for Learning.” 🎟️

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Some of the most meaningful music asks a question rather than answering one.
IRCC member the Indianapolis Women's Chorus invites you to “Walking Into the Unknown,” their fall concert on November 21 & 22 at @Warren Performing Arts Center on Saturday, November 21 from 7-8:30 p.m. or Sunday, November 22 from 3-4:30 p.m. In a season full of uncertainty, IWC offers something different: music about walking labyrinths, blazing trails, and embracing mysteries instead of rushing to solve them. It’s an invitation to trade fear of the unknown for a sense of possibility, and to ask whether honoring uncertainty can help us dream up a better world.
Tickets are going fast and come in a wide range of prices. If you can’t be there in person, livestream registration is open too.
Purchase tickets here: 🎟️ indianapoliswomenschorus.org/walkingtickets
Before the concert, IWC is also partnering with St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, Heart Path Collective, Gender Nexus, and Tranquil Tones on “Connecting In, Connecting Out,” a free Spirit & Place Festival event on [date/time] at [location]. It pairs the ancient practice of labyrinth walking with communal singing in a peaceful gathering focused on reflection, belonging, and joy. Registration is encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome.
We’re proud to support IWC and the community they build through song. 💜

NGLCC Transgender Day of Remembrance Program | From Visibility to Legacy: Honoring Trans Lives Through Community Advocacy
Thursday, November 12, 2026, 3-4pm ET
This is a FREE event and all are welcome! Sign up today at the link below!
Join NGLCC - The National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) Heritage Committee, Transgender, Gender-Expansive (TGX) and Allies Initiative, and @indyrainbowchamber in commemorating Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) with From Visibility to Legacy: Honoring Trans Lives Through Community Advocacy, a conversation about the importance of preserving transgender history, honoring community trailblazers, and turning remembrance into lasting impact.
Through the story of Erica Andrews, an internationally recognized transgender performer, mentor, and community leader who called San Antonio home for two decades, this session will explore the grassroots advocacy effort to honor her legacy through a proposed memorial street designation. Attendees will learn how LGBTQ+ and allied organizations, community advocates, chambers of commerce, and local government leaders can work together to preserve LGBTQ+ history and ensure the stories of those who shaped our communities are not forgotten.
This discussion will highlight the power of visibility, collaboration, and civic engagement in creating meaningful, lasting recognition. Whether you’re a business owner, community leader, advocate, or ally, you’ll leave with ideas for honoring transgender lives, uplifting community voices, and helping preserve LGBTQ+ history for future generations.

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Every corridor has two ends — and for November’s Second Saturday, IRCC member Corridor Indy is heading to the far western one: Portugal, where the Mediterranean’s long reach finally meets the Atlantic. 🌊🇵🇹
Erin and Logan are cooking a Portuguese menu for one night only, with wines poured from Cavalier Distributing and The Rare Wine Co. It’s a cuisine built on salt air, good olive oil, and the kind of generosity that keeps the table full long after the plates are cleared. Expect an evening that tastes like the coast: bright, briny, slow-cooked, and made for lingering over one more glass. 🍷
📅 Saturday, November 14, 2026
🕡 6:30–9:30 PM
💵 $150 per person (plus tax and gratuity), wine pairings with each course included
🍽️ Full menu coming soon. Erin and Logan are putting on the finishing touches!
🌱 Vegan options available. Please note: food allergies and other dietary restrictions can’t be accommodated at this special event.
Seating is limited, so don’t wait! Call the shop at (317) 257-7374 to reserve your spot.

Every photographer has a story behind the lens, and IRCC Member Michelle Craig of Michelle Craig Photography is sharing hers. 📸🍂
Many of us know Michelle for her beautiful portraits of people, often captured in nature. But her first love has always been nature and landscape photography itself. Between a busy portrait career and raising her son on her own, she hasn’t had much time to shoot simply for the love of it, or to just sit and be in nature, observing and pondering.
Now an empty nester, Michelle is feeling the pull back to her roots. She recently dragged herself out of bed well before dawn to catch the sunrise at Brown County State Park, and as she puts it, “I’m SO glad I was mean to myself this morning!”
The result? Fall in Indiana, a collection of Michelle’s translation of Mother Earth. 🌅
🍁 See it (and take a piece home!) at Monon Coffee Co throughout November.
🛍️ Prints will also soon be available at Rivers and Roads, Michelle’s favorite gift shop in Brown County.
Stop by, grab a coffee, and see Indiana’s autumn through Michelle’s eyes. 💛

It’s that time of year! 🍂 Fall colors, shorter days, pumpkin spice… and lawmaking! 🏛️
IRCC member HIV Modernization Movement - Indiana (HMM) invites our community to join them on Tuesday, November 17 for Organization Day at the Indiana Statehouse, when lawmakers are ceremonially sworn in and the new legislative session officially begins. The real work starts in January, but behind the scenes, things are already hopping!
HMM Indiana will be joined by the advocacy team from Damien Center and attendees will have the chance to share coffee and conversation with lawmakers, their staff, and fellow organizations. Showing up matters, and this is a great way to put faces and voices in front of the people making decisions for our state. 💬☕
We’d love to see our IRCC family there!

🎶 Walking Into the Unknown 🎶
We’re proud to shine a spotlight on IRCC member the Indianapolis Women's Chorus and their fall concert, Walking Into the Unknown!
In a time when so much feels uncertain, IWC stays rooted in what matters most for a just society, and invites us to meet the unknown with curiosity instead of fear.
Through music about walking labyrinths, blazing new trails, and embracing mysteries rather than rushing to solve them, this concert asks a beautiful question: when we honor uncertainty and not-knowing, can we begin to dream a better world?
For decades, IWC has lifted voices and built community right here in Indy. This is one you won’t want to miss. 💜

NGLCC Transgender Day of Remembrance Program | From Visibility to Legacy: Honoring Trans Lives Through Community Advocacy
Thursday, November 12, 2026, 3-4pm ET
This is a FREE event and all are welcome!
Join NGLCC’s Heritage Committee, Transgender, Gender-Expansive (TGX) and Allies Initiative, and @indyrainbowchamber in commemorating Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) with From Visibility to Legacy: Honoring Trans Lives Through Community Advocacy, a conversation about the importance of preserving transgender history, honoring community trailblazers, and turning remembrance into lasting impact.
Through the story of Erica Andrews, an internationally recognized transgender performer, mentor, and community leader who called San Antonio home for two decades, this session will explore the grassroots advocacy effort to honor her legacy through a proposed memorial street designation. Attendees will learn how LGBTQ+ and allied organizations, community advocates, chambers of commerce, and local government leaders can work together to preserve LGBTQ+ history and ensure the stories of those who shaped our communities are not forgotten.
This discussion will highlight the power of visibility, collaboration, and civic engagement in creating meaningful, lasting recognition. Whether you’re a business owner, community leader, advocate, or ally, you’ll leave with ideas for honoring transgender lives, uplifting community voices, and helping preserve LGBTQ+ history for future generations.

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Congratulations to IRCC member Bradley Anspaugh @bra1964 of Cutting Edge Countertops , who received the Earl Conner Legacy Award this past Saturday at the Damien Center ’s BLOOM – Grande Masquerade gala! 🎭
The honor recognizes Bradley’s longtime commitment to the Damien Center and its work as a home for HIV wellness in our community. The Center provides healthcare, housing resources, food pantry access, mental health support and more, so that every person it serves can thrive with dignity.
Many of you know Bradley’s work through the annual men’s underwear fashion show at Forty-Five Degrees each June. Now in its 14th year, the show has become a community favorite, and its success shows how much Indy turns out for a great cause. Bradley was quick to share the credit with the sponsors, supporters, tippers and models who keep it going, and with the people of the Damien Center.
Bradley, we’re proud to count you among our members. Congratulations on an award that’s so well deserved! 💜

Guess who’s looking for new voices? 🎶 Two of Indy’s beloved choruses, the Indianapolis Women's Chorus (IWC) and the Indianapolis Men's Chorus (IMC), are inviting singers to join their ranks!
🎤 Indianapolis Women’s Chorus brings in around 20 new members every year. The process starts with an a cappella video audition, and from there you may be invited to a live audition with a few section leaders. It’s a relaxed, friendly setting, and a great chance to meet the artistic director and hear more about IWC’s mission.

Are you seeing RED?
Due to an unexpected opening in theirNovember exhibition schedule, @Magpie Artspace is putting together a show on a much shorter timeline than usual—and we’re looking for artists ready to explore RED.
Red is passion and danger. Love and anger. Blood, fire, heat, warning, power, desire. It can demand attention from across a room or appear as one small, impossible-to-ignore mark.
For their November First Friday, @The Magpie Studio and Gallery is inviting artists to respond to RED.
They are open to interpretation and to medium. Painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, installation. They are looking for work with a contemporary point of view. Shift the perspective. Push the composition. Give them red that feels current, layered, and alive.
Think crimson. Scarlet. Vermilion. Burgundy. Brick. Rust. Cherry. Lipstick. Roses. Stop signs. Tail lights. Embers. Blood. Red earth. Red as love. Red as fury. Red as danger. Red as something that refuses to be ignored.
Maybe you’re seeing red. Maybe it’s just one red moment.
New or existing work is eligible—and with our short turnaround, existing work is absolutely welcome.
Media: All visual media considered (2D, 3D, fiber, assemblage, mixed media, photography, small installations). All work meant for hanging must have a wire installed.
Click here to submit work for consideration:
https://debkentteam.wufoo.com/.../magpie-artspace.../
Submissions must be received by November 2nd, 2026.
First Friday opening: November 6th, 6–9pm.
Proudly sponsored by Homes of Indianapolis - , Deb Kent Realtor, Gallery of Homes Real Estate , The art of real estate!

🎶 Broadway hits, Italian classics and an evening that feels like a party with friends 🎶
@anthonynunziata_official is coming back to IRCC member Hendricks Live this Friday, Oct. 23!
When Anthony Nunziata played Hendricks Live! in April 2025, he liked it so much that he went looking for CEO Chris Petrelli as soon as the show ended to say he wanted to come back. A year and a half later, he still calls it a world-class venue, with a sound system he says is unbelievable both on stage and, more importantly, for the audience.
Anthony plays the Indianapolis area at least twice a year, from intimate rooms like Feinstein's at Hotel Carmichael to the bigger Hendricks Live! stage. He says Indy audiences always bring great energy, and his shows feel like everyone is "at a party together."
His newest album, "Anthony Nunziata: Live at Café Carlyle," gives a taste of what to expect: a big vocal range, plenty of personality, and personal stories mixed in with familiar songs and punchy originals.
"My hope is that people will be able to let their guard down and laugh and maybe cry and maybe unlock feelings that they've had buried inside for a little bit," he said.
Come laugh, maybe cry, and enjoy a great night out with one of our own member venues. 💛

Tucked into SoBro, @analogartifacts.shop is a shop built around a simple idea: things worth keeping. Furniture, lighting, art, hi-fi, printed matter and other well-made objects that have stood the test of time and are still here.
What makes them special is that they believe the best way to know if something is right for you is to spend time with it. Sit in the chair. Listen to the speakers. Watch how a floor lamp throws light across a room. Run a hand along a tabletop and see how it was made. Then ask them what they know, because they know a lot.
They'll also go looking for you. A particular CD player, a lamp you saw once, the mate to a single candlestick, the missing speaker from a pair: tell them what you have in mind, and they'll search for a good example in the right condition at a fair price. No fee to ask, no obligation to buy.
And if you have something well made to part with, whether it's one piece or an entire collection, they buy from individuals, collectors, dealers and estates. They also help with estates and downsizing moves before everything gets sold off, donated or hauled away.
Stop by, wander and see what catches your eye. Welcome to the IRCC family, Analog Artifacts! 💜

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Congratulations to IRCC member Norman Lasiter , who has been selected as one of just 10 finalists competing for a prestigious cabaret award in New York City! 🎤✨
On Saturday, November 21 at 4pm, Norman takes the stage at the legendary Don't Tell Mama NYC for the Second Annual REP Awards, where the finalists will compete live for the $5,000 Grand Prize, plus Judges' Choice and Audience Choice honors. That last award is decided by the crowd, so if you're in NYC (or know someone who is), go cheer Norman on!
Norman extends huge thanks to director Tanya Moberly and says he's thrilled to share the stage with such talented fellow finalists in an award show held in remembrance of someone so special.
We couldn't be prouder to see one of our own representing Indy on one of cabaret's most iconic stages. Break a leg, Norman! 💜

IRCC member YazshIndy is teaming up with fellow creatives Alley Cat Ceramics for a night that's equal parts delicious and hands-on. Alley Cat is heading down the street to Yazsh to teach you how to make your very own ceramic espresso mug, because everybody deserves the perfect cup for their morning coffee.
No experience? No problem! This class is totally beginner-friendly, and you'll get all the tools, materials and instruction you need. After class, Alley Cat Ceramics will take your mug back to the studio to be fired and glazed. Then you can pick it up about three weeks later at 2209 E Michigan St.
While you create, enjoy an appetizer buffet, and every bottle of wine is HALF OFF. 🍷
📅 October 28 - 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

![?️??️⚧️ Some of the most meaningful music asks a question rather than answering one.
IRCC member the Indianapolis Women's Chorus invites you to “Walking Into the Unknown,” their fall concert on November 21 & 22 at @Warren Performing Arts Center on Saturday, November 21 from 7-8:30 p.m. or Sunday, November 22 from 3-4:30 p.m. In a season full of uncertainty, IWC offers something different: music about walking labyrinths, blazing trails, and embracing mysteries instead of rushing to solve them. It’s an invitation to trade fear of the unknown for a sense of possibility, and to ask whether honoring uncertainty can help us dream up a better world.
Tickets are going fast and come in a wide range of prices. If you can’t be there in person, livestream registration is open too.
Purchase tickets here: ?️ indianapoliswomenschorus.org/walkingtickets
Before the concert, IWC is also partnering with St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, Heart Path Collective, Gender Nexus, and Tranquil Tones on “Connecting In, Connecting Out,” a free Spirit & Place Festival event on [date/time] at [location]. It pairs the ancient practice of labyrinth walking with communal singing in a peaceful gathering focused on reflection, belonging, and joy. Registration is encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome.
We’re proud to support IWC and the community they build through song. ?
