Fishers Arts Council (FAC) and Jiffy Lube of Indiana invite you to see the incredible talent that Hamilton County has to offer at the fourth annual Juried Exhibit of Hamilton County Artists. Forty-one artists are represented in this exhibit, located at the FAC Hub Gallery in the Collaboration Hub at Hamilton County Community Foundation, 11810 Technology Drive, Fishers.
Artists hail from Fishers, Noblesville, Carmel, Westfield, and Cicero showcasing a wide range of painted mediums. Awards will be given for Best Landscape, Portrait or Figurative, Abstract, and Floral or Other, along with Best in Show which wins a $1,000 cash prize and a solo exhibit in the gallery in January 2024.
Brouwer
The winners are decided by Rena Brouwer, a Delphi resident and well-known Indiana and national artist who is also part owner of the Opera House Gallery of Contemporary Art in Delphi, where she teaches and exhibits her work.
Brouwer is an international award-winning watercolorist, instructor, and entrepreneur. With a passion for nature, her paintings reflect the beauty of a captured moment transposed onto paper in her unique contemporary style, one that is recognized worldwide. For over 40 years, her innate artistic gifts have led her to teach at national art conventions, colleges, museums, and community venues across the nation. Her work is a voice that communicates her deepest values: preservation of our natural resources, our heritage, and the opportunity to educate future generations.
Brouwer is also an Indiana Artisan, member of The Brown County Art Guild, Indiana Artists Club, Hoosier Salon, Indiana Plein Air Painters Association, and a Cardinal Fellow member of the Watercolor Society of Indiana.
