Hendricks Live! Art Exhibition is a collaboration with the Hendricks County Arts Collective, Hendricks Live!, Plainfield artist Brian Russelburg, and an artist advisory committee of respected Hendricks County artists. The idea was conceived by Brian Russelburg as a way to highlight and celebrate the phenomenal local talent in Hendricks County while bringing high-caliber visual artists and attracting visitors to Hendricks County.
