The parking lot only has 6 spaces so if the lot is full when you arrive, you can find street parking just east of the studio on 6th and 7th streets. This meeting will be a photo share so each person may bring up to 10 images you’ve taken with your Point and Shoot camera that you wish to share with the group. Bring your images on a USB drive and be prepared to share a little about each image you bring. If you wish to attend, but do not have any images to share at this time, that is perfectly fine as well….just enjoy the show! 
I hope to see you then.

Itinerary:

8 AM – Leave for INDY from the Sam’s Club Lot on the West Side of Bloomington. We will park near the gas pumps. If you don’t wish to caravan, meet the group at 9:30 AM at the Morton Statue of the Indiana Statehouse/Capitol Building (200 W Washington St). The Morton Statue is at the intersection of Capitol Avenue and Market Street in Indianapolis.

Best Parking: 151 W Wabash. A surface lot (with just a ticket writer – bring cash) charging $10 for up to three hours. Other possibilities are Hilton at 120 W Market or 33 Capital but they are a much more expensive (hotel lots).

EVENT 1 - 9:30 AM – 10:45 AM. Historic Downtown Tour with guide. Meet the group at the Morton Statue (see above). Cost is $5 per person. The guide wants to cover all the material and that takes about 75 minutes. If you see a building of interest, feel free to photograph and catch up with the group later. Alternatively, take your own pictures of buildings and people and skip the tour.

10:45 AM – 11:15 AM. Free time to photograph missed buildings or people opportunities. Then drive to Newfields – the Indianapolis Art Museum (4000 Michigan Road, Indianapolis).

11:30 AM. Arrive and park at Newfields. Pay the reduced entrance of $15 per person then meet in the café. You can either eat a quick lunch or take deep breaths to clear the brain, warm up and virtuously lose weight.

EVENT 2 - 12 PM – 1 PM. Docent presentation about the Gardens and Greenhouse Flowers. This is a walking tour in the Greenhouse (1/4 hr.) and Gardens (3/4 hr.). Tripods may not be used in the Greenhouse but may be used anywhere on the museum grounds.

1 PM – 3:00 PM. Free time to photograph interesting opportunities and/or visit the museum and/or hit the café again!

EVENT 3 - 3:15 PM to 6 PM. Crown Hill Cemetery. Go from Newfields to 34th & Boulevard Place (South Gate of the Cemetery). Guided Tour from 3:30 – 5 PM ($10 per person / min $75 per group). Group has free time to photograph 5 – 6 PM. Note: South Gate closes at 5 PM, North Gate at 8 PM. So, be prepared to enter South and exit North Gates.

Artists pick up their art from the Waldron Arts Center. When you pick up your art, if you have not made an appointment to de-install with the gallery director, then Ivy Tech security staff must see at least one photo ID and feel confident that you are who you say you are. This is for your protection and that of the College. If you are sending a person, or persons, other than yourself to de-install you must let the gallery director know their names and their relationship to you in advance. They, too, must present photo ID to the satisfaction of staff. Ivy Tech will not ship art under any circumstances.

Tech Tip: TBA

Photoshare: Silhouette; Self Portrait; Found; Alphabet; One Shape.

Guidelines for photoshares: Up to eight (8) images per person. Please use these dimensions for your images:

For landscape orientation: 1400 pixels width.
