ART IN HAND Zionsville’s Co-op Art Gallery is Owned and Operated By Local Artists Writer / Julie Young Photographer / Ron Wise

Located on Zionsville’s famous brick Main Street, Art IN Hand is a cooperative gallery where artistic talent is nurtured, showcased and promoted. Founded by a group of friends in 2000, the venture was modeled on a successful co-op in Charleston, S.C. Most of the original members were Northwest side residents who were affiliated with the Indianapolis Art Center and drawn to Zionsville due to its quaintness and affordable rents. “It is really a special place where artists can display and sell their work,” says Diane Couch, a mixed media artist who has been with Art IN Hand since 2014. “Many of our artists work from home and though some have in-home studios, sometimes it makes

more sense to meet clients at the gallery where they have the chance to see other works by other artists.” Art IN Hand is comprised of 24 artists who specialize in a variety of mediums. They include Deb Achgill who creates fused glass items, jewelry maker Chuck Bruce, founding member Chris Davis who crafts Raku pottery, as well as watercolorists Norma Davis and Paula Derringer, painter Daniel Driggs, photographer Scott Kinzie and weaver Donna Hudson. “We have both 2D and 3D artists so there is something for everyone,” Couch says. “We like to have a good mix with enough space to display everyone’s work without overcrowding the space.” Although they are at capacity for the

moment, artists have come and gone over the years. When there is an opening, the members go through the applications submitted by candidates in order to find someone who can contribute something unique to the gallery. “We ask to see photos of their work and then if we are still interested, we may ask for some samples,” Couch says. “After that, we vote on whether or not to bring them on board. It takes a 60 percent majority in order to join the roster.” Beginning in October each year, the Art IN Hand gallery shares its display space with artists from area schools and hosts a reception for this emerging talent on the first Friday of the month in order to give patrons the chance to meet the artists and see some of their work. This continues

throughout the year and has included artists from schools such as Thorntown Elementary School, Brownsburg High School, Western Boon Jr./Sr. High School, Lebanon Middle School and of course, Zionsville Middle School. “We always host a Zionsville school during the month of March because it is youth art month,” Couch adds. “Although the student art is not for sale, it is a popular attraction because it gives folks a chance to see what our students are doing in the classroom and helps give students the chance to get their

art off to a great start.” During the holiday season, the gallery features a tree of ornaments that are created by artists and is something patrons look forward to year after year. The gallery artists also donate items for the annual Fat Cat Silent Auction to help raise money for the Humane Society of Boone County. Couch says it is not only important to promote the wares of local artists but to give back to the community whenever they can. “For nearly two decades, Art IN Hand

has been well-received by everyone in Zionsville,” Couch says. “We are members of the Chamber of Commerce and we are working with Zionsville’s Town Hall to secure art for their new building. We have locals who are long-time regulars and others who are just discovering us. It’s a wonderful community to be part of and we are glad to be here.” Art IN Hand is located at 211 S. Main Street in Zionsville. Give them a call at 317-733-8426 or visit them online at artinhandgallery.com.

Writer / Josh Brown Photography Provided by Ryan Woodall & Zionsville Chamber of Commerce

Do you hear those sleigh bells ringing? It’s that time of the year again, Zionsville’s Christmas in the Village is back. The Zionsville tradition is unlike any other, for a variety of reasons. Namely, not many other towns or cities in Central Indiana have a Christmas celebration that lasts virtually the entire month. Most of them have a one day or week tree lighting and festival towards the beginning of December. For Zionsville, Christmas in the Village is a month-long celebration with holiday

festivities and events every week of the month leading up to Christmas. The celebration is the most wonderful time of the year in Zionsville — drawing interest from both young and old in the community. Christmas in the Village is also quite a boon for local businesses, particularly those merchants along Main Street.

“It has always been the event for downtown Zionsville for as long as I can remember, and we’ve been here nearly 20 years,” says Cobblestone Owner Kent Esra. “We’ve always supported Christmas in the Village. The more people we can bring downtown, the better.”

“When we first opened back in 2000, Christmas in the Village was a three or fourCobblestone and Robert Goodman Jewelers day event I believe,” says Robert Goodman are two of the oldest businesses with their Jewelers Owner Bob Goodman. “Today, it doors still open on Main Street. Both is pretty much all month long, which I think businesses have been open for 18 years, and is a massive improvement. The amount of they’ve seen the impact of Christmas in business we get coming in is great, but the the Village and how the event has changed best thing about this event is how much the during that span of time. community absolutely loves it.

it is the parade, wagon rides with Santa and more, there are plenty of events for everyone.” Christmas in the Village was first established in Zionsville way back in 1852. The event has changed significantly since it first started. For more than five years, the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce has put on the event, handling all logistics and details. This year, a group of local merchants and volunteers have really stepped up and led the charge for Christmas in the Village with the support of the chamber. This year’s event is once again filled with plenty of activities, and there are even a few new and exciting changes. The Christmas in the Village Parade & Tree Lighting, held Nov. 24, still kicks off the festival, and the parade was yet another big hit this year. Santa was on hand for the parade, as he is each year, and families will continue to have the opportunity for a horse-drawn wagon ride with Kris Kringle every Saturday and

Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Dec. 23. Three Dog Bakery in Zionsville sponsored Santa for this year’s Christmas in the Village, both for the parade and for horse-drawn wagon rides. Owner Christy Zeller says they will also host a reindeer feeding station the Sunday before Christmas. “We are very excited to be sponsoring Santa this year,” Zeller says. “It is extremely important for us to do everything that we can to help support all of the Christmas in the Village activities. We, along with the other merchants and all of Zionsville, are Christmas in the Village. Without all of us doing our part to spread Christmas cheer, the event just wouldn’t be the same.” In the past, there has been an Elf Scavenger Hunt, which drew families to local merchants based on clues. This year, the hunt has been modified with a new twist and a new name — the Snowflake Seekand-Find. Snowflakes will be hidden in businesses, restaurants and retail shops. Children and families can go out and find those at their own pace and experience all the merchants on Brick Street. The Snowflake Seek-and-Find will take place Saturday, Dec. 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. One of the most popular events last year is also back this holiday season during Christmas in the Village — Ladies Night. Those who frequent Main Street know there are plenty of local retail shops and boutiques to shop till you drop. At Ladies Night, local shops will stay open a little later, from 6 to 9 p.m., and many shops and boutiques will have appetizers and drinks on hand to make it a fun, relaxing shopping experience for women coming out to enjoy the night. Frances + Parke, a new men’s and women’s clothing boutique, is one of the many boutiques on Main Street participating in the Ladies Night this December. “We are really excited about Ladies Night,” says Frances + Parke owner Tracy Dull. “We will offer appetizers, specials on new merchandise, gift wrapping and more. 10 / ZIONSVILLE MAGAZINE / DECEMBER 2018 / atZionsville.com

We will be very involved throughout Christmas in the Village, and I’m excited to see all that the event brings to the community this year.” Ladies Night will take place Thursday, Dec. 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. The Christmas Crawl is also back by popular demand this season. Last year, about 20 restaurants and shops participated in the Christmas Crawl, which draws the community in to visit Zionsville shops that they likely haven’t frequented before. The crawl ends at Rush On Main with an ugly sweater contest, karaoke and more. The Christmas Crawl will be held Dec. 13 from 6 to 9 p.m. “Christmas in the Village is such an exciting time of the year,” Zeller says. “There are so many special events scheduled throughout the holiday season that are not only fun for the businesses to participate in but bring so many people to the Village that otherwise may not have the incentive to do so. It’s such a fantastic way to bring the community together. The businesses really unite to make each year better than the last.”

HAWK FOUNDATION SPREADS CHEE R FOR SPECIAL NEEDS FAMIL IES WITH EVENTS L IKE VIP CHRISTMAS

Writer / Megan Jefferson Photography Provided

Paul Dreier has been working with special needs kids since he was in high school. He was offered the chance to use one of his study halls to volunteer, and he started tutoring children with special needs. Working with this population has become one of Dreier’s passions. Dreier has also been a member of the Lions Club for years. As a service with the Lions Club, he’d help out during the Zionsville Fall Festival, serving hot dogs and other treats. Leigh Ann Akard was also

highly involved with the Fall Festival and noticed attendance on Friday nights was slow. Knowing about Dreier’s involvement with the Special Olympics and the Special Olympics Torch Run, she suggested they invite families who have a family member living with special needs to the carnival to ride the rides for free and enjoy the food the Lions Club provides. Dreier pitched in money so the families could play games for free too. “The overall idea was to get a group of people together who have similar circumstances and let them enjoy the time

together with their families, all for free,” Dreier says. Ten years ago, they offered the first VIP Carnival event. There were 38 participants the first year. The second year, Dreier and Akard asked those families to invite another family with a child with special needs. They had 98 people show up for the fun. It grew from that point on — last year 1,600 people were there celebrating. Because the VIP Carnival was such a success, Dreier, and other volunteers, decided to organize more events. There’s the VIP Christmas event, which takes place

12 / ZIONSVILLE MAGAZINE / DECEMBER 2018 / atZionsville.com

on the first Friday of December every year. Santa is there available for photos, sleigh rides are offered, food is served and high school and local church carolers perform. A VIP Luau and Kite Day Event were added as Spring and Fall events. All events are free to families with a member who has special needs. Many families travel a good distance to attend. “People come from Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio,” Dreier says. “Some spend as much time in the car getting to the event as they do at the event. That’s pretty amazing.” All events are well-attended and all are organized and staffed with volunteers. In order to accept donations to help support these events, Dreier and others created a non-profit organization: HAWK (Helping All With Kindness). There are 10 board members who all share the duties of organizing and producing the events. Dreier says all members are essential and work hard to make these events a success. The members include Leigh Ann Akard, Hugh Breene, Jeff Collins, Paul Dreier, Amy Hamather, Brad Pillow, Val Pillow, Tina Randel-Lizama, Gerry Stevenson and Jane Winters. Dreier’s favorite part about being involved in the HAWK foundation is seeing the joy on the children’s faces as they get to hang out with their friends from school at events that are not school related. They get to experience joy and freedom. It takes a great deal of organizing and a supportive community to put on these events, but the board members know it’s worthwhile. “Zionsville really is a mecca of goodness,” says board member Val Pillow. HAWK’s VIP Christmas Event will take place Friday, December 7 from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. If you are interested in volunteering, the HAWK Foundation welcomes all. You can learn more by visiting thehawkfoundation.org.

A new, family-owned boutique is now open on Zionsville’s bustling Main Street. The owner, Tracy Dull, is a longtime resident of Zionsville who has always loved Main Street and the idea of shopping locally. “With having a men’s store, we looked at Boone Village and Main Street,” Dull says. “When the location [on Main Street] became available, I knew this would be great for the store. The Zionsville Chamber of Commerce and local merchants have been very supportive and welcoming.” Dull, who has a business background in management, was previously a stay-athome mom for the last 15 years to her three children. While a stay-at-home mom, Dull

volunteered on a school board of directors, an adoption agency board of directors and a homeowners board. Dull’s daughter, a high school junior who is planning a career in fashion merchandising, was a big influence in the fruition of Frances + Parke Boutique. Together, the mom and daughter duo decided that this would give her a head start into that industry.

“Being Zionsville residents, we considered what might be missing in the wonderful shopping arena that Zionsville already offered,” Dull says. “Men’s clothing was not present, so that definitely took the lead in our decision-making. We felt led to open a men’s and women’s apparel store with classically-current clothing.”

While Frances + Parke Boutique offers shoes, luggage, jewelry and other gift items, the boutique’s primary focus is While family-owned, the boutique’s apparel. Some of the brands that are connection to family scales beyond that. offered include Barbour, Southern Tide, Frances + Parke Boutique gets its name Tribal, Paige, Lucky, Spanx, Saxx, Good from two of Dull’s three children, all American, Mavi, Mission, Herschel, and of which were adopted from Korea.

every day and into date night,” Dull says. “Barbour provides a classic outerwear look, as well as quality clothing. Southern Tide brings in the fresh southern feel of apparel that perhaps we all long for as the weather changes here in Indiana. We also have other gift items such as jewelry, candles, fun socks, soaps and bath bombs.” According to Dull, the community’s response to the boutique has been outstanding — especially the response to the men’s apparel and merchandise. “Men are very much enjoying the opportunity to shop for themselves locally,” Dull says. “We have had many special orders and reorders on men’s apparel. In addition, ladies are excited to shop not only for themselves but the men in their lives, too.” Frances + Parke is located at 20 N Main Street in Zionsville.

COMPANY HELPS PROMOTE & SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISANS Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photos provided by Batch Indy

For companies, sending a corporate gift like chocolates, flowers, magnets, keychains or fruit at the holidays or as a thank you is nothing new. What is new is the way a little Indianapolis company is making those gifts a lot more memorable, and they’re supporting local artisans in the process. Batch Indy’s Creative Director, Chelsea van der Meer, likes to call it small batch, big message. Van der Meer, who started at Printing Resources, branched off the company to form Batch. Starting in the bindery at Print Resources, van der Meer put her degree in graphic design to work, designing and putting client names and logos on a myriad of items like coffee cups, banners, bottle openers, shot

glasses and even on a two-liter soda bottle. Print Resources had limitless options for client marketing, and then one day she discovered yet another possibility. Keeping it local seems to be a growing trend, and van der Meer wanted to do exactly that. “As an artist, I recognized the growth in Indy’s art community, and I developed an appreciation for high quality, hand-made things,” she says. “Handmade things have a character you can’t match, and I wanted to be a part of that.” Batch launched in October 2017, and already, van der Meer’s marketing is a big hit bringing Batch plenty of repeat business. Gathering a collection of artisans in her pocketbook, she’s created successful marketing campaigns with gifts logoed

on a small batch of coffee beans roasted by local coffee maker Tinker Coffee Company, coffee mugs made by local pottery VanHoy Pottery, a logoed box of macarons baked by local bakery The Gallery Pastry Shop. Other brilliant options in the gallery include logoed candles, a logoed cocktail kit, laser engraved leather keychains, plant holders and so much more. “The idea behind these gifts is that it’s really stuff you want to get and it’s stuff that you’ll use,” van der Meer says. “We take the client’s idea and try to mold it to source the best item for their occasion.” Batch also can design welcome kits for new employees, kits for new customers, giveaways for a tradeshow and even corporate gifts to employees.

16 / ZIONSVILLE MAGAZINE / DECEMBER 2018 / atZionsville.com

“We offer the convenience of in-house packaging and shipping. It takes the stress right off the client’s hands,” van der Meer says. One of the most successful campaigns was the Salesforce campaign. The digital marketing company hatched an idea to send out a kit of sweet treat gifts to clients complete with a printed message inside the box. Salesforce already had an in-house creative department who was developing the message, but they wanted the help of Batch to complete their gift box. Van der Meer came up with the perfect solution using a package of macarons, each emblazoned with an icon representing a stop on the Salesforce marketing map. The kit was a huge success for Salesforce, and they were impressed with the level of creativity that went into the project. Batch continues to amp up the creativity by constantly finding new artisans. “I want to support local artisans, so I’ll always be looking to find new ones,” van der Meer says. “One of the greatest things is calling an artist to give them business and give the company a unique product. I love being able to help them out.” The artisans love being able to help out too. Many of them donate a portion of their profits to charitable causes. Along with scouting new artisans, van der Meer has her eyes set on a long-range plan to expand Batch to other cities that have a similar model to Indianapolis with a similar artisan community. No matter what’s next for Batch, the owners Printing Resources, Tim Browning and Kurt Ellinger, both say they couldn’t be more proud of Chelsea. In the meantime, when your company is ready to plan a marketing gift campaign, contact Chelsea at Batch Indy at 317-8337000 or via email at chelsea@batchindy. com. Connect with Batch Indy online at batchindy.com to see all the exciting products and artisans they offer. Follow Batch Indy on Instagram at @batchindy. com.

Looking for a total body workout that adheres to your schedule, offers guidance not guesswork and helps you continue your path to progress long after the workout is over? Then Orangetheory Fitness may be the perfect fitness solution for you. “We have classes scheduled throughout the day with nationally certified coaches who monitor your progress and make sure you are not over or under training,” says Carolyn McDonald, owner of Orangetheory studios in Carmel, FishersGeist and West Carmel-Zionsville. The newest studio, Fishers-Nickel Plate, is set to open in January 2019 directly across from Fishers City Hall. Shortly after, a Broad Ripple/Butler area studio will open at the intersection of Kessler and College in Indianapolis. Developed by former Pilates instructor, Ellen Latham, Orangetheory is a sciencebased workout that gets results. It is centered on the principle of EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) that suggests if one challenges their body at the correct intensity, they will experience an effect that keeps them burning calories even after the workout is over.

“If you spend 12 or more minutes of the hour-long workout in the ‘Orange Zone,’ which is at 84 percent or more of your maximum heart rate, you will experience the afterburn,” says Katie Douglas, owner of Orangetheory studios in Greenwood and downtown Indianapolis. “You don’t have to work out every day because your body will be burning calories even as it recovers.” With 1,000 locations throughout the US (and seven here in Central Indiana), Orangetheory is designed for all fitness levels and they boast a diverse community of clients with a variety of fitness goals. Staff members and coaches take the time to get to know each member, build a rapport and assure them that they will get the maximum benefit from the Orangetheory workout. McDonald says each member wears a heart rate monitor that tracks their progress in real time throughout the class and gives them (and their coach) insight into their performance. Orangetheory takes the guesswork out of your fitness regimen and creates a reciprocal relationship between you, your coach and other Orangetheory members. Plus, the workout changes every day and that variety keeps members engaged. “The level of community created in each studio is one of my favorite aspects about the Orangetheory program,” McDonald

says. “The coaches work hard to ensure that every member is comfortable and they are wonderful about offering modifications as needed to ensure everyone feels successful in their workout.” Everyone on staff is trained to offer a welcoming, energetic environment and each location offers a robust schedule of between 60-70 hours of training each week, so Orangetheory is ready whenever you are. “Members schedule classes during the times most convenient for them either in person or with our app,” Douglas says. “In addition, because all Orangetheory memberships are reciprocal, members are welcome to take classes at any studio in the country.” McDonald believes Orangetheory is the future of fitness and she is proud to be part of it. “We have grown so quickly over the past four years here in Central Indiana and our members are constantly building on this incredible TEAM OTF community and culture,” she says. “For local residents, your first class is free, so why not come by and see what we are all about?”

ZIONSVILLE CENTURY CLUB SUPPORTS LOCAL CHARITIES THROUGH 100-PLUS MEN DONATING $100 EVERY QUARTER Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Bradley Kercheval

Having been involved with charities and on nonprofit boards in the past, Todd Sullivan knows the amount of hard work, time and effort often spent by such organizations on fundraising. So once he got wind of an efficient, streamlined donation model that several groups around the state have been using in recent years as a way to help local charities, he knew he had to bring it to Zionsville. In 2014 Sullivan founded the Zionsville Century Club, and he says the idea is refreshingly simple — four times per year a group of men meet up for one hour with checks in hand, vote on a local charity after a little networking and social time and write

out $100 checks right then and there. “There are several other groups around Indiana doing it — we bring as many people together as we can all at once, and together we can make a big impact,” says Sullivan, a 13-year Zionsville resident originally from Ohio. “It’s really about the collective and all of us together. It’s one thing for me to give $100 to charity, but it’s another for 100 or 130 guys to all give $100 at once. That’s where we truly make an impact for these charities.” Each quarter the Century Club members meet at the Zionsville American Legion and each member can bring a suggested Central Indiana-based charity, the name of which gets dropped into a bag. Three are then picked at random and the members who suggested those three charities have the

chance to give a five-minute presentation, after which the members vote on which charity gets the nod. “There’s no treasurer, executive director or board members,” Sullivan explains. “That’s the beauty of it - 100 percent of the money goes to the charity and the checks are written right at the meetings. We can’t thank the American Legion enough for hosting our meetings and we try to support them as much as we can, even if it’s just stopping in for lunch or a pint of beer.” Since the first meeting back in November of 2014, the group has grown from 22 men to more than 100, and Sullivan hopes to reach the 150 mark in the near future. A total of more than $120,000 has been donated to charities like School on Wheels, Little Wish

BUILDING WEALTH. One personalized portfolio at a time.

“We’re consistently above $10,000 now at our meetings, which is great,” Sullivan says. “Our numbers fluctuate and guys come and go, but we have a solid core of guys who have been around and are here for the long haul. And you can always mail in your check if you can’t make the meeting.” Zionsville residency is not required for membership, and the group includes members from Carmel and Indy. While the Century Club is a men’s group, Sullivan points out that Women of Impact Boone County is a local organization with a similar model for interested women. “The hardest part is choosing which worthy cause will receive the money each meeting,” says Ryan Diem, Zionsville Century Club member and former offensive lineman for the Indianapolis Colts. Diem also assists with the group’s website and outreach.

High client satisfaction = over 90% client retention.

“Several groups have had a chance to present a second or third time and typically get their moment,” Diem adds. “It’s really neat to see how many men are passionate about, and active in, these foundations and trying to make a difference in our community.” Visit zionsvillecenturyclub.com for additional info and to join the Zionsville Century Club mailing list.
