An evening with the artist: learn about her creative vision and inspiration while enjoying light refreshments. Open to the public
Kemi Akinmboni is a Nigerian-American abstract painter whose work explores identity, memory, movement, and belonging through layered color, gesture, and mark-making. Born and raised in Nigeria, she moved to the United States after graduating high school, carrying with her the visual rhythms, colors, and cultural influences that continue to shape her artistic practice. Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, Akinmboni continues to develop a growing body of work that examines personal experience, cultural memory, and the evolving nature of identity through abstraction.

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.
