While this blog has loads of readers (110,000 page visits in January.), I’ve found, anecdotally, that that number includes some who know little about IBJ’s other arts and entertainment coverage.
So I thought I’d take today’s posting and give you a…
Good news for fans of Julian Opie’s pop-art-inspired exhibit that ended a year-long run on city streets in September-Indianapolis is getting a permanent piece by the London artist to add to its growing public art collection. The work created for Indianapolis is called “Ann Dancing.” It’s reminiscent of the four-sided LCD display dubbed “Sara Dancing” […]
The Music Mill, a north-side restaurant, bar and concert venue, has temporarily closed its restaurant for a renovation. The box office remains open at the 82nd Street facility.

When I came on board as IBJ’s arts and entertainment editor back in May, I had no idea to what degree critical coverage of Indianapolis’ cultural offerings would be embraced by the publication and its readers. Well, I’m happy to report that the response has been terrific. And so, shortly after this weekly A&E column of reviews began appearing in IBJ, we launched a Thursday e-mail blast of previews and ticket giveaways (sign up for free at www.ibj.com/enews). That, too,…
If you picked up your tickets to see the preview of “The Savages,” the first IBJ Night at the Movies, please share your thoughts on the film after Monday night’s screening.
And look to “Lou Harry’s A&E” for information on future…
It’s been a good number of years since I’ve joined what seems like half of central Indiana at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s “Yuletide Celebration.” That’s no slight to the institution, just a reality of my arts going-I tend to gravitate toward the new experience rather than the familiar. And traditions of any kind are built on familiarity. Which sets me against the flow of concert- and theatergoers this month. After all, December is the time of Nutcrackers, Scrooges and carol-based…
Welcome to the IBJ A&E corner of the blogosophere—a salon of sorts where arts and entertainment issues large and small, local and national, low-, medium- and high-brow, will be discussed, debated, argued about and wrestled with.
It’s a place I hope…
The Heartland Film Festival opens Oct. 18 with nine days of film screenings and special events. Want some help making your selections? IBJ staff and freelancers previewed most of this year’s offerings. Some of the best are reviewed below. For more reviews-which we will continue to update as the fest approaches-visit the Not Strictly Business section of ibj.com. “Home of the Giants,” dramatic feature Given the generic title (please change it before it’s too late), the Hoosier high school basketball…
The weekend of Sept. 7-9 was nothing short of world-class here in Indianapolis. I’m not even taking into account the Thursday before, Sept. 6, which featured the Start with Art luncheon in the Convention Center, attended by some 1,200 people. The luncheon kicks off the fall arts season and celebrates the importance of the arts-a theme that will run throughout this column. Later in the afternoon and evening on Sept. 6, our city was the focal point of NFL hysteria…
