Allotropy Trois

Primary Colours, a local arts organization, will present their third benefit art exhibition, Allotropy Trois, Friday, April 13, 5-10 p.m., and Saturday, April 14, 3-9 p.m., at the newly renovated Harrison Center for the Arts at 1505 N. Delaware St. You can eat ribs and drink beer compliments of Rock Bottom Brewery and indulge in the crazy revelry that will be going down at this artsy engagement.

It's your chance to sneak peak at the rehabbed church reinvented into beautiful artists studios and performance spaces. You can be seen, be cool and contribute to local arts for a measly $5 admission. Proceeds from admission and art sales benefit AYS (formally At Your School Child Services, Inc.), an after school arts suppler program that holds three-week intensive art camps called Reach for the Stars. 

Twenty-seven local artist will fill 8,000 square feet of the Harrison Centre with their creations available for you to acquire and beautify your habitat. Mingle while Mpozi merry-makes by spinning dub Reggae. Blend in with the scene while blues duo Los Daddios delights with melancholy mandolins. Incidents of martial arts dance madness (Karate Kid meets Electric Boogaloo?) will occur with the group Capoerira. Imagine, in slow motion, aromatic karate chops with a break dancing edge accompanied by sluggish drum grooves - that's the innovative Capoerira. The contemporary dance company Sussurus will also be performing the same night.

AYS will display work by their talented staff as well as provide a glimpse into their summer camp world. You can register your first through fifth grader for the AYS camp at Allotropy Trois also. The camp will be held at Broad Ripple High School and the Harrison Centre for the Arts in two sessions spanning June 18-July 6. Camp fee is $330. Call (317) 283-3817 to register for camp or get more camp information. Call (317) 916-2874 for more Allotropy information.
