PAINT THE TOWN
O
n September 23, 2021, over 150 gala attendees gathered at the Hub & Spoke design center to honor the 21 arts nominees and celebrate Nickel Plate Arts’ ninth anniversary. The night’s theme was “Paint the Town Red” and the attendees were dressed in various shades of crimson formal wear and were served pink champagne. The evening began with live music from Indy Gorgeous Club while artists Greg Adams, Alyssa Overton, Leah Leach, and Stuart Sayger demonstrated their artistic skills and craftsmanship in person. Artists Darlene Patterson, John Smith, and Louise Balzucki also demonstrated pottery techniques on the lawn next to the building. A seated dinner was accompanied by Conversation Pieces, the local musical duo of Steve Newby and Joy Collins.
9TH ANNIVERSARY GALA
A silent and live auction helped to raise over $50,000 in support for Nickel Plate Arts, a record setting amount. We raised over $5,000 specifically for our Maker Faire and Juneteenth event: we want to grow this program and build a new brand that allows us to celebrate the diversity of and talent within our community.
