Exhibitions at Indigo Arts

Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

For the Birds

June 8, 2023 to August 31, 2023

The enforced confinement of the the “Covid years” seems to have driven a lot of us to birding. As reluctant as I always am to be trendy, we seem to have joined the flock. We are fortunate to live within walking distance of a vast park system and within east driving distance of many more places where birds gather. We have also discovered we are surrounded by avid birders who can tell a Parula from a Prothonotary, and that they are overwhelmingly willing to share their knowledge. So we upgraded our binoculars and joined the flock.

Out There!

March 1, 2023 to June 15, 2023

An Online Exhibition of Outsider Art

Indigo Arts didn't exhibit at the Outsider Art Fair this year, but there is plenty to see on our online gallery. The selection of artwork is "Out There", in the geographic as well as the figurative sense. One may prefer to call the art Outsider, Art Brut, Intuitive, Visionary, Naif or Self-taught. Each term has its own advantages and limitations, and some artists fit more comfortably under one name than another.

Folk Art on Wheels

November 23, 2022 to February 18, 2023

An Online Exhibition for the Holiday season.

The world of folk and outsider art, like most other things in our world, moves on wheels -

Two Wheels,

Three Wheels,

Four wheels,

and more.

On rails,

or in the air.

I dedicate this exhibition to my brother Jonathan, who epitomized the romance with everything on wheels.

The Maithil paintings of Nepal and the Mithila or Madhubani paintings of Northern Bihar, India are two sides of the same art form. The historic Mithila kingdom once spread across the southeast plains of Nepal and the northern Bihar and Jharkhand states of India. In both countries an ancient domestic wall painting tradition has been adapted to painting on paper, but it has evolved differently and at different times in the two countries.
