Everyone has a story to tell. Storytelling Drawing Sessions give artists a chance to engage in the stories of long-term residents of Indianapolis. As community members tell their stories, artists are invited to listen, converse, and create.

Join Greatriarchs featured in the Polklore Micro-Museum at your local library branch, and create while being inspired by neighborhood history and fantastic people!

Storytelling Drawing Sessions use long-term residents as models to get to know their stories. Artists are welcome to create in whatever medium they prefer (ink, writing, crocheting, painting), and are encouraged to bring their own supplies - but a limited amount of supplies will be available at the library.

This program is being offered in partnership with the Harrison Center. Storytelling Drawing Sessions are a weekly occurrence at the Harrison Center, and now we're bringing it really into the community at library branches this fall! The library events will begin at 1:30 (rather than the traditional 1:00 at the Harrison Center) to allow travel time for storytellers and guides.

About the branch

The Brightwood Branch opened in 1901 as the sixth public library in Indianapolis. It served the Brightwood community at several locations along Station Street, one street west of its current North Sherman Avenue storefront site which opened in 1972. A 1996 renovation at this location doubled the size of the branch to 5,400 square feet. In 2020, a brand-new branch building, across the street from the previous branch, was completed and re-named as the Martindale-Brightwood Branch.
