Love Before Breakfast (1936) with Carole Lombard, Preston Foster and Cesar Romero.  In the screwball comedy tradition of My Man Godfrey, Indiana native Carole Lombard plays a woman torn between a rich man (Foster) and a one of his employees (Romero).  The two men do a lot of backstabbing and double dealing, and the action ends up on a yacht during a storm.  Expect some laughs during this rarely seen gem! Runtime: 70 mins.

Clay Handbuilding for People with High-Functioning Autism

Fall is here! Kids are in school, Halloween decorations are popping up everywhere, the leaves are changing, and the Fall art classes have started here at the GPAC. From jewelry making to painting, we have a variety of subjects that keep our students busy.

The Indiana Photographic Society meets here at the GPAC every Wednesday from 7-9PM. There is no registration and visitors are welcome to participate at no cost.

This club is for photographers, photo-historians, and enthusiasts. Activities and topics include photo critique, review, survey of techniques, and hands-on instruction. The Society exhibits the work of its members at locations around the state, including an annual exhibit here at the GPAC.

The Arts for All Outreach team have been making the rounds again! Equipped with art supplies, they are travelling to various Indy Parks Family Centers through the end of November. This time, our team is making clay tiles that commemorate 100 Years of Indy Parks. Families who participate will learn about where clay comes from, how to use molds, and create their own tile to have as a keepsake.
