Thank you all so much for being a part of the Garfield Park Arts Center community!
At the Garfield Park Arts Center (GPAC), we celebrate creativity in all its forms. Our exhibitions showcase a wide range of artistic voices, perspectives, and styles, reflecting the diversity of our community.
Because our gallery spaces are open to the public and visited by audiences of all ages, including children, we ask that all artwork be appropriate for general viewing. Explicit imagery, hate speech or otherwise unsuitable content cannot be displayed.
The Gallery Manager and Gallery Team review all submissions and has the responsibility to decline or remove any work that does not align with the public and family-friendly nature of GPAC and the parks within the Indy Parks and Recreation system. All such decisions are final.
We appreciate your understanding and partnership in helping us create a welcoming, inclusive, and inspiring environment for everyone.
