It highlights local crafters and artisans and exposes Indianapolis to some of the best vendors on the national indie craft fair map.

We are excited to announce that two former Harrison Center interns, Brandon Lott and Grace Graves, are set to perform at Bloombox Festival - formerly IMAF on June 15th. These talented musicians got their start right here at the Harrison Center, and we are thrilled to see them thriving in the music industry.

Brandon's high school and college internships with us produced over a dozen songs, and since then, he has grown into an accomplished recording artist, incorporating Alt-R&B and Neo Soul elements into his music. Grace Graves' high school internship culminated in an EP. As a singer-songwriter, she has been praised for her unique sound and thoughtful lyrics.

As a community, we are proud of our interns' success and are committed to supporting them as they pursue their passions. We hope to see you all at Bloombox, where we can celebrate the talents of Brandon, Grace, and many other talented musicians.
