Northwest Territory Art Guild, 316 Main will feature a collection of both past and recent works by local artist Shirley Truelove. Shirley will show a variety of floral-themed paintings, vibrant in color with energetic surface textures created through expressive impasto technique. She works in both oil and acrylic media.
Seasonal works by Guild members in a variety of styles and media will be on display and for sale in the back galleries, along with hand-made ceramics and jewelry.
Regular gallery hours: Tue – Sat 11 am – 2 pm. Additional hours by appointment; contact the gallery via Facebook.
The Open Gallery 329 Main will be opening “Spiracies”, recent work by artist and writer Coleman Stevenson. Stevenson uses hand-rendered text as image and chance-based monoprinting techniques in works based on lines from poems in Rainier Maria Rilke’s Book of Hours and excerpts of other significant texts. These works address the dilemma of solitude, the nature of prayer and devotion, and the difference between habit and meaningful repetition as we cross thoughts together and weave our lives with the lives of others, creating in that inadvertent layering many tiny openings for spirit to enter.
Stevenson is the author of three collections of poems and several books about the Tarot including The Dark Exact Tarot Guide. In addition to her work as a designer of tarot and oracle decks through her company The Dark Exact, her fine art work, has been exhibited in galleries around the US. She has been a guest curator for various gallery spaces and has taught poetry, tarot, design theory, and cultural studies for many educational and community organizations across the country, as well as online. She currently resides in southern Illinois.
Stevenson will be on hand at the First Friday event to greet guests and talk about her artwork, which will be showing through the month of October.
Regular gallery hours: Tue – Sat 10 – 4:30 pm. 812- 881-6475.
The Shircliff Gallery, First and Harrison Streets, will be showing Uprooted, works by Laura Greenwood and Margaret LeJeune through October 20. There will be a reception for the artists Thursday October 17, 12 pm.
Laura Greenwood is a visual artist working across photography, printmaking, fibers and time-based media. Her work investigates relationships between humans and the environments they inhabit, modify and adapt to.
Margaret LeJeune’s creative practice explores the relationship between art, science, and environmental studies. As a lens-based creator, she produces works that probe shifting landscapes, symbiotic relationships, and the nature of the photographic medium. In 2023 she was named the Woman Science Photographer of the year by the Royal Photographic Society.
Regular gallery hours: weekdays 9 am – 6 pm; 812-888-4316
Gallery will be open until 6 pm First Friday September 6.

Artrageous is a troupe of misfits artists, singers, dancers and musicians who started as friends doing street theatre in Vancouver. Together they started the “All and Everything Theater”, a non-profit Children’s Theater focusing on Children’s Entertainment, Street Theater and Life-sized Bunraku Puppetry.
In the late 80’s on Christmas Day, their hand built theater building, with all their props and puppets, burnt to the ground. Instead of packing it in, they created a new act; this troupe has performed for the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Steve Forbes, General Colin Powell… and in venues and events all over the world from India to Thailand, Paris to Austria performing at over 2000+ events in their History.
As people who live and breathe the Arts, Creativity, Community, and Inspiration, they created Artrageous to pay tribute to their roots and share their passion with the world. A Show that focuses on all the things they believe in and everything that got them to this place.
Art, Music, Theater, Singing, Dancing, Audience Interaction…
All on one stage. All done as a team of friends seeing the world and sharing a love of the Arts.
Imagine witnessing the creativity of an artist creating a masterpiece before your eyes in mere moments. Combined with captivating vocals, intricate choreography and exciting music, Artrageous takes you on a visual journey and a high energy ride of inspiration, creativity, and engagement.
Our troupe of artists, musicians, singers and dancers pay tribute to a variety of art forms, icons and musical genres throughout the evening. The result ~ A uniquely entertaining, Masterpiece show culminating in a gallery of fabulous finished paintings.
A signature of the Artrageous Troupe, from the very beginning of their long history, is interaction and engagement… so be prepared to be a part of the show.
Each show is as unique as each
audience and we can’t do it without you!
