In 2013, four Noblesville teachers received grants from the Lilly Foundation to focus on a specific project that is personally renewing and intellectually revitalizing. This show features projects by two of those artists – Darlene Patterson and Carol Land – at Nickel Plate Arts Campus, 107 S. Eighth St., Noblesville.

Patterson traveled to Baffin Island, where she kayaked along the coast of Pond Inlet, participated in the Nunavut Arts and Crafts Association Festival and engaged local children in a photography project. She will be exhibiting photographs from her travels and from the Nunavut children. Land focused on studying the history of calligraphy and took several enriching private courses. She will be sharing her calligraphic masterpieces.

The free exhibit runs through Feb. 8. Nickel Plate Arts Campus is open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
