From Spring Blooms presented by Wild Birds Unlimited through the summer, you’ll be delighted to find surreal displays inspired by THE LUME Indianapolis featuring Dalí Alive throughout The Garden at Newfields.
Now You See It, Now You Don't
Have you ever visited an exhibition and wondered how an object is displayed? I am a mount maker and preparator here at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields and that is what I do.
Total Eclipse of the Art
On Monday, April 8, 2024, Newfields hosted nearly 5,000 guests for a once-in-a-lifetime celestial spectacle that combined what Newfields does best, art and nature.
The Surreal Story of Dalí’s Watercolors
Visitors will have a rare opportunity to see four original watercolors by Salvador Dalí from the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s own collection in THE LUME Indianapolis featuring Dalí Alive this spring. At first glance, the watercolors feature a number of familiar Dalí-esque images, including the requisite melting clocks, butterflies, and elongated elephants that are signature to the artist’s paintings.

Excerpts from some of the 47 blanket stories that were submitted for Skywalker/Skyscraper (Matriarch).
The Harvest
One of the most frequently asked questions at Newfields this time of year is, “What do you do with all of these pumpkins?!” And it’s no wonder. Three semi-truck loads of pumpkins adorn 52-acres of campus all October-long.
Florals for Fall
The Garden at Newfields is slowing down, but that doesn’t mean the beauty of the blooms has passed. I made a beautiful, dried arrangement that will last throughout the holiday season using easy to find materials and blooms from The Garden.
Newfields Cookbook: Pumpkin Bisque
The beauty and bounty of fall doesn’t end once the pumpkins have left The Garden. Newfields’ Chef Patrick Russ makes a beautiful Blue Doll Pumpkin Bisque using pumpkins from Harvest Nights.
