Love art? Want to support the Arts in our community? Become a Volunteer!

Calling all art lovers! We are always seeking volunteers to help advance the arts in Hancock County. If you’d like to join us in our mission, please call 317.967.2368 or go to our Facebook page to connect! Volunteers will help with shows, receptions and events. Commit as little or as much time as you’d like. We’d love to have you on our team!

Have you been quarantine creating? We want to display your art!

For many of us, the quarantine has given us the time and inspiration to create art. If you are like us, we’d like to display your art at our gallery! The art will be hung OUTSIDE during the month of July so it must be suitable for all weather. If you’d like to participate, contact Carol at cbarrett2111@gmail.com.

Twenty North Gallery to re-open June 13

The gallery will re-open to the public beginning June 13, 2020 for the long-awaited Spring Members Show!

Hancock County Arts (HCA) is committed to providing a safe and healthy arts space for all our volunteers, artists, shared space partners, and guests. To ensure we have a safe and healthy gallery space, we have developed a COVID-19 Gallery Protocol in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guidelines to note if you visit the gallery:

1. No more than ten (10) people are allowed in the gallery at one time.
2. Social distancing of six (6) feet must be observed at all times.
3. Masks are REQUIRED to be worn during gallery open hours and public events.
4. Non-contact methods of greeting must be used – no handshakes or hugs.
5. Upon entry, please use hand sanitizer (located inside door).

Thank you for your cooperation to keep our volunteers and artists safe!

Twenty North Gallery Closed Until Further Notice

Coronavirus Response (updated 4.10.20)

Due the mandatory closures caused by the coronavirus and Hancock County Arts’ responsibility to do our part to keep our community safe, all upcoming events are postponed and will be rescheduled once the mandatory stay at home order is lifted. All of us at Hancock County Arts hope you are staying safe and healthy. Now, more than ever, the world needs the optimism and hope that art inspires. Please keep creating!

Please continue to monitor this page and our Facebook page for updates. Thank you for your understanding.
