Penrod, in collaboration with the Stutz Artists Association, announces the second annual Easel by Penrod at Stutz on March 7. The return of the organization’s premier spring event aims to bring together the community for a vibrant, arts-forward night in support of Indianapolis artists and arts education.

Guests are invited to immerse themselves in a high-end experience that celebrates creativity, elegance, and the spirit of giving back. The evening will feature open artist studios throughout the Stutz, live music, unique entertainment, and art concepts. Patrons will enjoy a curated variety of light hors d’oeuvres and an open bar offering premium bespoke cocktails, champagne, and beer.

Easel by Penrod provides a unique opportunity to view and purchase original artwork by talented local artists, directly supporting the Central Indiana arts community. Proceeds support a broad array of arts, cultural, and educational activities and institutions throughout Central Indiana via an annual grant process. This year, event proceeds will also fund two Art Educator Impact Awards for two art educators for use in their classrooms. Recipients demonstrate a meaningful commitment to access, inclusion, and educational excellence—using visual arts, music, theater, dance, or multidisciplinary approaches to create lasting impact in classrooms and communities.

Easel by Penrod is a 21-and-over event from 6:30-11 p.m. on Saturday, March 7 at the iconic Stutz building in downtown Indianapolis (1060 N. Capitol Ave., Indianapolis). Valet and nearby self-parking will be available. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.penrod.org.
