Big Car is a non-profit 501c3 arts organization with a gallery and performance venue in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis, Indiana. In our space in the Murphy Art Center, we host live music, spoken word events, and a new art show each month. We prefer work -- be it visual, words or music -- that is doing something new, that is taking a chance, that bends reality into something that wasn't there before. We like experiments. We like darkness. We like work with an edge. We like humor. We like to have fun doing something new.

Details: These internationally known artists collaborate using found materials (wind, wires and wood) to create improvised sounds connected to video projections. This adds up to an installation for all of the senses.

Q: How do I get to Big Car Gallery?
A: Go to the corner of Woodlawn and Virginia Ave. in Fountain Square just southeast of Downtown. Turn right on Woodlawn (at Skip's Market) and left on St. Patrick's. Park behind the Murphy Art Center and enter through the glass back door with the Big Car sign. Or park along Virginia Ave. and walk around to the back of the building and enter. It is also OK to pass through Galerie Penumbra (be sure to stop and check it out) and then access Big Car from the back hallway. The gallery is upstairs in Suite 215.
