Welcome Chatham Home
Welcome to our new neighbors on the Cultural Trail. Chatham Home, a brand-spankin’ new furniture store at 517 E. Walnut Street, opens Friday, Aug. 5.

Faith and Hope, the mother and daughter proprietors, want their visitors to enjoy the store’s home-like vignettes, complete with home accessories and gifts, as well as upholstery, rugs and lighting. They hope that Chatham Home will be a destination, an inviting oasis of comfort and style. No passport required.

Black Market Debuts on Mass Ave
Mass Ave’s east end just keeps getting better and better. Black Market, 922 Massachusetts Avenue, boasts “fantastic food with eccentric beer and wine offerings” and looks like it’s going to be a great fit for the avenue. Architect Jim Lingenfelter’s design (Five2Five Design Studio) and Liz Ditzler stylish interiors set the perfect mood for this gastropub, we think you’ll like it.
Check out Yelp reviewer and DJD pal Rob E.’s review here: http://bit.ly/kscgBM. Enjoy!

Extraordinary. Always.
Over the years we’ve enjoyed working with The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis on some very fun projects, from exhibit graphics to the branding of their internal library, InfoZone. Recently we’ve teamed up to design a retail kiosk, banner ads, Flash animation, e-cards, a community report, and an information system with a pocket folder and inserts that supports their new brand. Working with the Children’s Museum is like spending the day there: lots to do, never a dull moment, and always a good time!

christopher west presents Contingent Process
First Friday:
June 3, 2011 5–9pm
christopher west presents: Contingent Process curated by Ben Valentine. The methods and materials of creation have been expanding rapidly since the 1960’s, incorporating works of art that are radically different from those of the past. This show examines a small facet of this expansion in contemporary art with works that incorporate ideas of a contingent process – art that hovers between the production and a final object. The artists here have relinquished aesthetic control to a situation which naturally grew their works.
