FOOD MOVIES

You’ve probably noticed a lot of change happening around town: new breweries springing up with the speediness of Jack’s magic beans, hosts of new festivals, restaurants, record labels, performance spaces, and all manner of performance troupes. If you’re new to town, this might all seem a little overwhelming.

Worry not; we here at NUVO are about to become your cool older sibling when it comes to learning the ropes of the arts scene.

If we shouldn’t call it a comeback because you’ve been here for years, then we heartily invite you to enjoy another glorious fall arts season with us, your old pals at NUVO. You may have also noticed that our guide has a slightly different organization this time around, too. It’s all for you, baby.

Now our sections are broken up into easy-to-use, supersimple categories (Arts, Music, Movies, Sports, and Food) so you can quickly find the event you’re looking for. Throw this guide in your glove box like an old-school atlas to Fun Town and whip it out when a friend asks, “Anything cool going on this weekend?”

We always like to remind you that this is a small sampling of the tons upon tons of events we have on NUVO.net and in our weekly paper. Did we miss something? We’re only human!

But you can reach these humans at editors@nuvo.net or send your events to our events database at calendar@nuvo.net.

And don’t forget to check in with our fine Street Team folks for ticket giveaways on the Promo tab on NUVO.net.

Now go find that perfect fall sweater, buy your tickets, get out there and enjoy it!

W

e’re super-democratic and egalitarian and inclusive here at NUVO, which made it really tough to pick five arts organizations/events to keep an eye on this fall. Where’s the love for burlesque or breaking or ballet, you ask? Oh, we love all three deeply, but sometimes you just have to choose.

BIG CAR COLLABORATIVE

This has been an extraordinarily busy year for Big Car Collaborative. Or maybe just typically busy. The non-profit didn’t waste time finding another space in Lafayette Square after it lost its lease on the Service Center, finding a spot just across 38th Street by midsummer. Expect a grand opening in early October, plus the debut of a new sound art laboratory. And because they won’t have as much workspace in the new location as in the old garage, look for Big Car to secure a workspace in the Garfield Park neighborhood.

But enough about real estate, because the other big news is that Big Car will celebrate its 10th anniversary Sept. 10 at UIndy with a retrospective in the DeHaan Center gallery and a concert featuring favorite Big Car acts. And, hey, how about a new initiative: Art in Odd Places will find visual and performance art up and down Market Street, starting from the Circle, on Oct. 17-18. And don’t forget that Big Car will help coordinate $400,000 worth of cultural programming on the Circle next year. We could go on, but we’ll leave you to investigate the rest yourself, for Big Car is about curiosity, exploration and other building blocks of the creative mind.

BUTLER VISITING WRITERS SERIES

Big literary stars like Jonathan Franzen tend not to stop in Indianapolis by chance. We’re not really on the book tour circuit. Events like Ann Katz and Spirit & Place are unlikely to blow their whole 6 FALL CITYGUIDE // 2014 // NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER

budget on a big name. And while non-profits may bring in big names for fundraisers, you usually have to pay $100-plus to get a seat at a table. Which is why the Butler’s Vivian S. Delbrook Visiting Writers Series is such a treasure. We have Delbrook to thank for making it possible for Butler to book a headliner or two each year.

But then the folks at Butler deserve just as much praise for bringing in a variety of writers, including poets who haven’t appeared on the cover of TIME (where’s the Great American Poet issue), and making their appearances free and open to the public.

IMOCA

The Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art (iMOCA) was already an essential stop on our First Friday itinerary. It’s one of the few places in town with the resources to commission new work — and its executive director, Shauta Marsh, has proven herself quite adventurous, bringing in shows that’ve drawn national attention, including a trippy Philip K. Dick-inspired group show featuring a tiki hot tub, and an exhibit of work by The Highwayman, a group of African American landscape artists who created over 200,000 paintings. But now we’ll have to make two stops on any given First Friday because iMOCA is opening up a second location at CityWay on Oct. 3. The new gallery, created through a partnership between iMOCA and the Alexander, will give iMOCA a total of 5,500 square feet of exhibition space between its two locations.

INTERNATIONAL VIOLIN COMPETITION OF INDIANAPOLIS

It’s back. The ninth quadrennial edition of what the Chicago Tribune has called the “ultimate violin contest.” Violinists aged 16 to 29 compete for more than $250,000 in prizes, career management, a bunch of concert engagements (including local dates on ICVI’s Laureate Series), a Carnegie Hall recital and use of a 1683 Stradivarius. And audiences get to watch some of the world’s top talents for a reasonable price — and in a bunch of different settings. We’d recommend catching the semi-finals, when violinists play a 75-minute recital including 19th-21st century works from the standard repertory, plus a Beethoven sonata and a commissioned piece — and the finals, a four-night marathon that finds finalists playing a concerto by Mozart or Haydn with a chamber orchestra, and then a Romantic or post-Romantic concerto with the ISO.

Q ARTISTRY/ECLECTICPOND

With all due respect to our itinerant theater troupes (NoExit Performance being on the top of that heap), we’d urge you to keep an eye on the Irvington Lodge building this fall — because if history’s any indication, there’ll be something happening there just about every weekend, from madcap musicals written by Q Artistry’s indefatigable head Ben Asaykwee to a metric ton of Shakespeare and other classics performed

by EclecticPond. Both companies call the Lodge home. Q’s been on quite the roll, with Asaykwee doing two shows at the IndyFringe Festival. And EclecticPond just keeps setting the bar higher; one wonders how they survived to tell about their War of the Roses project, consisting of eight of Shakespeare’s history plays, truncated to one hour each and eventually presented in a one-day marathon in late June.

The Department of Yes: 10 Years of Big Car Collaborative in Indianapolis Aug. 25-Sept. 26 It only makes perfect sense that a retrospective of Big Car’s first 10 years would emphasize interactivity, giving visitors a chance to, for instance, perform a Fluxus score (sample instruction: Make something in the street and give it away). The show is organized around Big Car’s activities over the decade, including its beginnings as an art gallery and performance space and its more recent incarnation as a catalyst for social practice art around the city.

Unlike a western garden, where you walk through it and participate with the plants, in the Zen garden you are on the outskirts, but you face inward, toward the garden and, no matter where you sit, there is always one of those big rocks hidden.

Because as he told us last year, he’s not interested in coming here every five or six years for weekend. Nope. As Venzago puts it, “ I dream to have a certain regularity — what I call friendship — where I can bring my pieces, where I can teach them now where I am artistically, and where they tell me where they are artistically.” With Venzago making his second guest conducting appearance in as many years, we might say that that regularity has begun.

The Pack AD

remember that sinking feeling so well. My favorite band was coming to town (yes!) … to a 21+ venue (no!). Oh, the shows we’ve missed because we were young! To kick off the music calendar, I wanted to highlight some new all-ages venues in Indianapolis where everyone can see the show.

And, don’t forget, all shows at Old National Centre, Klipsch and the Lawn are also all-ages.

HOOSIER DOME

The de rigueur spot for all-ages shows in Indy hosts a healthy mix of local and touring bands, and festivals on occasion. Shows start early (and often end early) and the crowd is welcoming, excited and passionate about music. They host several fun annual events; my favorite is Punk Rock Prom, which, I can say from experience, is way better than regular prom. The crowd skews younger than Joyful Noise or General Public – but the young ones are the ones booking the shows, running the door, playing in the bands. Bands coming through the Dome in September: Tiny Moving Parts, Code Orange Kids, Forgotten Tribe, My Sweet Fall. Expect some great local hip-hop showcases, like #HYPENITE, too. This is the all-ages venue I wish had been around when I was a teen.

WEST GATE I’m so unbelievably jazzed about West Gate, an all-ages DIY venue on Indy’s Westside.

THIRSTY SCHOLAR, FOUNDRY PROVISIONS If you haven’t spent much time on the Old Northside lately, you’re missing a lot. With Talbott Street on one end and Greg’s on the other, it’s long been a hotspot for gay clubs. But, while those clubs are reliably great (and historic), they’re strictly 21+.

Luckily, two new spots on E. 16th are open to everyone. Foundry Provisions, a coffee and sandwich shop, housed inside an old car factory, offers singer-songwriter types a space to perform in front of small crowds. And just a block away, swanky-but-still-casual coffee, beer and wine bar Thirsty Scholar hosts artists on Saturday nights. During the day, the Scholar is all coffee meetings, and students working on IUPUI assignments, and NUVO editors gorging themselves on their olive appetizers. But don’t miss performances on Saturday evenings from NUVO favorites like Sphie and Adam Yeager. Kids, it’s a good time to be living in Herron-Morton.

The storefront, which opened on Virginia Avenue last year, is home to some of the best First Friday showcases and one-off shows that I’ve been to in Indy, ever.

JOYFUL NOISE Sometimes I take for granted how lucky, as a music writer, I am to have a label like Joyful Noise releasing music in Indianapolis. That they were able to convince Sebadoh and Half Japanese to release new LPs within the space of a year is nothing short of a coup.

That they could do all that while releasing excellent LPs from Kishi Bashi and Son Lux and locals like Busman’s Holiday, Memory Map and Sleeping Bag is nothing short of miraculous. And, at their newish space in the Murphy, they bring these artists in front of our faces to play these new albums. Oh, Joyful Noise, I am in love.

This singer-songwriter released his fifth and latest album, Ghost on Ghost in 2013 after skyrocketing to success with the release of the Garden State soundtrack. His voice is soft and mellow and warm, like cuddling up in a warm blanket with some hot tea while you watch, let’s get real, Garden State again.

Sept. 17, 8 p.m. This American band has performed at festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. They debuted on The Late Show, and Palomino remained at the top of the Billboard bluegrass charts for 52 weeks.

They released their new album Wild Animals in 2014. This bluegrass might appeal to people who don’t even like bluegrass. They may be a string band, but their songs contain elements of roots, rock, and even pop. Dave Simonett’s voice portrays emotion easily, and the light but effective instrumentals really compliment his vocals in this album.

Sept. 20, 9 p.m. Country singer and daughter of June Carter Cash, Carlene Carter’s career took off with the release of I Fell in Love in 1990, which topped the US country album and singles charts. Carter's never been one to shy away from edgy and emotional lyrics and has included lines about deceased family members in some of her latest tracks like "Stronger."

But lyrics and a game of 6-degrees of country legends didn’t get her to where she is today, Carter’s powerful voice did.

Her combination of country, folk and blues has left fans foot-tapping and head-bobbing to this Grammy winner’s soulful voice since the early 80s. Her lyrics reel in all types of music lovers with her tales of love and loss and by reminding fellow Southern natives of their roots back home. Both die hard Johnny Cash and country fans alike have brought 11 of Rosanne’s hits soaring to the top and dubbed her a true pioneer of the new country genre.

The Wood Brothers Sept. 30, 7 p.m. This Americana-blues band wasn’t always a united front: although brothers Oliver and Chris Wood both loved music, they pursued separate careers for well over a decade. Eventually they realized they could combine their shared passion, and now they live and work in Nashville. They’ll be at the Vogue in September, and you’ll probably hear material from their most recent album, The Muse. The first things fans will notice when they pop in the album for the first time are undoubtedly Chris’s smooth bass, the interesting lyrics, and Oliver’s amazing voice.

A COLTS GAME AT LUCAS OIL STADIUM

HOOPS AT HINKLE

The old Dome — first named Hoosier, then RCA — was dingy, grey and effing LOUD. So loud other teams claimed Colts staffers were pumping in amplified noise because, gee whiz, us li’l ol’ Midwesterners couldn’t be THAT boisterous, could we? Well, we were, and the arrival of one Peyton Manning helped turn home games in Indy from mousy cocktail parties into Actual Pro Football Games. The Dome was pulled down and the roof was turned into wallets and shower curtains (thanks, People for Urban Progress!), but its replacement, Lucas Oil Stadium, is a glittering testament to the legacy of No. 18. The retractable roof and opening window are amazing, and the atmosphere remains electric as the Colts continue winning with QB Andrew Luck and company. It’s a great venue for America’s favorite sport.

It honestly doesn’t matter who’s playing, or how well. Although we haven’t seen the Cinderella-era Butler squad lately, watching basketball at this particular venue is breathtaking. It’s loaded with so much state history that the happy ending of the movie Hoosiers was shot there.

PRO FOOTBALL The Indianapolis Colts SEPTEMBER through THE SUPER BOWL, WE HOPE One of ESPN’s commentators once remarked that America has two sports seasons: football season and WAITING for football season. (Then they led Sportscenter with a story about the stinkin’ Pats.) Anyone who’s been in Indy longer than 30 seconds knows that this once exclusively hoops-mad city has fallen in love with the Blue and White. That’s what winning — and hosting — a Super Bowl will do for a town. Despite some key suspensions (Robert Mathis – for a fertility drug? Humbug.) and some bad behavior (including the team’s owner), QB Andrew Luck and head coach Chuck Pagano have continued to carry forward the team’s impeccable rep that was begun in the Peyton Manning era: good guys playing quality pigskin.

scribed by the organizers as “fun, safe and scenic,” this one’s gotten rave reviews from those in the local running community — the time of year makes it real, real purty. This event also include a half-marathon, a relay marathon, a 5K run/walk and and a 1-mile kids’ marathon.

While it’s amazing that people will do this on Thanksgiving morning, it may be even more amazing considering all that went on in Broad Ripple the night before. (LOOK OUT FOR THE HUNGOVER CATATONIC TWENTYSOMETHINGS.)

This is one of our favorite rides in Indiana — the scenery’s tremendous, the people are amazing, the t-shirts are a crackup (especially if you dig cows) and the food. The food. This thing starts with a pancake breakfast in the Hauser High School Gym (what could be more Midwestern that that?), includes stops with music, snacks, a lunch in the town square and even a root beer float at the end. The cash raised goes to local youth outreach programs and food banks. Did we mention the scenery? We should mention the scenery again. Distances run from a mild 13 miles to the full-on century with many distances between for every level of skill. And just to make you fully aware of the vibe that the organizers bring to the table, the Hope ride peeps promise, “Flying bicycles, anti-gravity water bottles, amazing wind reversing machines, holographic maps, and rainbows and puppy dogs for all!”

Hilly is the grandpappy of all Indiana cycling challenges. NUVO’s managing editor did the Hilly a couple years back, and the highlight (lowlight?) for him was being passed on a climb by a guy who was wearing full-on Little Red Riding Hood drag, heels included. Nothing is more humbling than this calf-burner, the mother of all climbing rides spread out over an entire weekend. (Mt. Tabor on Sunday will Crush. Your. Spirit.) There’s a photo contest, a costume contest (hence the drag bit? maybe?), music and chow at the three daily rest stops and some of the most incredible vistas in the state.

W

e do a lot of things right here in the Circle City, but there’s perhaps nothing we do better than eat and drink. If you’ve been mildly conscious in the last few years, you’ve probably noticed the explosion of craft breweries and craft cocktail bars, not to mention the hosts of fabulous fine dining spots that have sprung up in the last 10 years or so. But Indy’s not just about the high-end, fancy stuff. We’re a pro-farmer city with a love of all things independent, so here’s our list of great local food-n-booze experiences, in no particular order.

LUNCH AT YATS In a sentiment resembling that of the late Charleton Heston, you can take away my Yats when you pry that Chili Cheese Etouffe from my cold, dead hands. It’s a big plate of hot, delicious cajun creole, with those base sauces created from perfectly-browned roux. They’ve always supplied delicious vegetarian options, too. The best part is this local franchise is everywhere, and you’re never very far from a big plate of Yats. It’s so on-the-nose authentic that my Louisiana-born friends request this place by name when they’re in town. Be advised though: the College avenue location is cash-only.

DINNER AT CHEF’S NIGHT OFF One of my favorite things about living in Indy is that our food and chef scene is growing by leaps and bounds every year. The Chefs Night Off dinners are a chance to catch some of the scene’s stars 44 FALL CITYGUIDE // 2014 // NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER

as they’re rising, with pop-up dinners happening once a month at different locations all over town. Sometimes they’re at a fancy spot like Cerulean, other times it’s paper tablecloths at City Market.

Either way, the dinners are dressed-down, fun, casual tasting affairs where sous chefs and line cooks get to flex their haute cuisine skills. Search CNO on eventbrite.com to get tickets. See page 48.

FOOD TOURISM AT MANTHAN MARKET This brand-new event kicked off in July, bringing together groups of ethnic restaurants who come and serve tasting plates of their offerings on the last Saturday of every month. This event also happens on one of my favorite corners in the city, at the intersection of College and Mass, where there’s something bumpin’ more often than they’re isn’t. It’s not just a prepared foods for sale, either. You can get exotic produce from some microfarms around town. Get all the details on page 45.

COCKTAILS AT DORMAN STREET I can’t explain why this bar is so perfect, but it is. Maybe because you can still play music on a real jukebox. Maybe because the furniture looks like it hasn’t been moved since the 70s. Or maybe it’s because Dorman Street Saloon serves some of the most creative, inventive craft cocktails in the city. They do their own infusions and syrups, and the unpretentious surroundings in an unassuming neighborhood give it a super-relaxed vibe in which you can just concentrate on how damn good that Moscow Mule is. No neckties, no high heels, no problems.

FRENCH MARKET FOOD TOURISM Growing up, my mother sought relief from my hometown’s dismal food scene by cooking her way through Julia Childs’ cookbooks.

Well, the French Market Festival is exactly like that, except instead of literal years spent in the kitchen, you just walk around and pick what delicacies you’d like to try. And yes, that means crepes, escargot, souffles and all the other classic French dishes. Is it heaven? Not quite, but maybe you can talk to the St. Joan of Arc’s parishioners about taking you all the way. Read up on page 47.

Last Saturday of every month through Sept. Noon - 5 p.m. Our friends at Manthan Market have one goal in mind: to connect those rascally downtowners with some of the farther-flung food destinations in the city. On the last Saturday of every month (with plans to bring the market indoors during the winter months), Manthan Market sets up at the corner of College and Mass with a variety of ethnic food vendors from around the city concentrated in one area of downtown. Not just an eating adventure, you can also purchase some fresh stuff from smaller farms that are not offered at your traditional farmers market, like purple jalapenos and handmade goods from local shops and artisans. It’s a fun way to connect with all kinds of communities, with inexpensive tasting plates available at most tents. Free.

Carmel Farmers Market On Center Green Saturdays, 8-11:30 a.m., May through September. The Carmel Farmers Market, a growers- and producers-only market, is a great place for our Northside neighbors to grab all their produce, eggs, meat and other edibles.

And take heed: this is a food-only party, so that means no crafts or artisans like other markets around town. The Carmel market also offers an impressive lineup of prepared foods, like jams, salsas, breakfast sandwiches, Belgian waffles, Danish pastries, cheeses and honey. Cooking demonstrations, children’s activities and live music, all taking place adjacent to Carmel’s Centre for the Performing Arts, make supporting local Indiana growers fun for the entire family.

Come visit the Market for breakfast or lunch (or both) every Saturday morning from May through September on Carmel’s Center Green, located adjacent to the Palladium concert hall.

MOVIES T

here was much debate at NUVO HQ over what to title this section: “Film”? “Cinema”? No, we decided just to call it “Movies,” to honor the huge diversity of cinema selections available this fall. We’ve got high-brow picks for the those who refer to moving pictures as “films,” and lots of accessible options for our megaplex-lovers, and everyone in between. Not all of our picks are film fests either, with many local festivals showing movies as part of the experience. Sit back, relax, and enjoy all the shows.

IU CINEMA What a shame the IU Cinema wasn’t up and running while I was in Bloomington. The only consolation is that the state’s best cinema (in terms of programming and technology, if not refreshments) is only about an hour’s drive away. I’ll spare you the full rundown of noteworthy past guests like Werner Herzog, Abbas Kiarostami and Glenn Close. Nor need I cite technical specs — just know that the cinema has top-of-the-line picture and sound. I will mention how the IU Cinema’s classic movie house look, with panels from a Thomas Hart Benton mural flanking the screen, helps to elevate whatever you’re watching, not that classics running in 35mm in the best possible conditions need any help.

HEARTLAND FILM FEST My favorite part of Heartland? The shorts. Why? First off, in a world of bloated features that would’ve worked better in under and hour, I appreciate the economy of a good short. And because short films almost never make it into commercial distribution (unless they’re 56 FALL CITYGUIDE // 2014 // NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER

by Pixar, Wes Anderson or have been nominated for an Oscar), your only chance to see them on a big screen is at festivals. And Heartland gets some of the best. Sure, they all have to align with Heartland’s uplifting mission, but the great thing about the festival in recent years is that uplifting hasn’t always equaled heartwarming or family-friendly. Meaning that you’ll see a wide variety of people, places and worldviews on screen.

INDIANAPOLIS LGBT FILM FEST The big dogs in town remain Heartland and Indy Film Fest, but our resident LGBT fest manages to program an impressive weekend of films at the IMA each November, screening some big features while giving a chance to first-time filmmakers. Last year, the fest scored some real gets, including I Am Divine, a doc about John Waters’ muse that subsequently played plenty of art houses. We have Indy Pride to thank for the fest’s continued well-being; the non-profit took over in 2011 as “fiscal agent” for the festival, which still does an annual fundraising event for Indiana Youth Group.

ARTCRAFT THEATRE Sometimes when communities restore one-screen cinemas like the Artcraft, they convert them to multi-purpose performing arts centers, taking out the projectors, putting in an orchestra pit, etc. Which is great for the performing arts, but not so excellent for those who still like seeing old movies in old movie houses. Praise is due, then, to the people of Franklin, who decided that they still want to watch movies on the big screen — and, usually, classic ones that the whole family can enjoy, except for during Artcraft’s fall mini-festivals, because Universal horror or Hitchcock can still spook the youngsters.

INDIANAPOLIS MUSEUM OF ART

The fall’s a bit slow for the IMA in terms of its film programming, in between their two classic film series, the outdoor Summer Nights and indoor Winter Night in the Toby. But we expect that to change with new personnel in place. The Toby remains one of the city’s few places equipped to show archival 35mm prints (you need to have two projectors) — and as such, is well-poised for any sort of expansion in programming beyond the already impressive Winter Nights classic films series. And it’s not like fall’s completely barren: Check out the Nov. 21 premiere of B-Movie Bingo, which asks audience members to fill out a Bingo board squares like “White Suit or Tropical Ending.”

SEPTEMBER IU Cinema Ongoing. Thanks to Indiana University, we get to skim all the perks off their all-access pass to obscure art films, documentaries, and archival stuff. Scott already covered why it’s one of the best places in the state to see a film, and there are multiple ongoing series running concurrently.

Right now, a few in rotation are the Midnight Movies, a recurring series showing classic and/ or campy films like Purple Rain or A Clockwork Orange; the International Arthouse Series, which, as you might have guessed, is comprised of a variety of international films across many genres; plus a celebrity series that welcomes the likes of Werner Herzog and Kevin Kline. You really never know what to expect from IU Cinema, so stay up on their schedule by visiting the website.
