Indy Parks & Recreation’s Garfield Park Arts Center (GPAC) will host an open house from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday August 28, 2010. Swing by to experience all the GPAC has to offer! This is your chance to sample workshops led by talented Teaching Artists representing many mediums including clay, drawing, painting, jewelry-making, dance and more.
