1000 Words Gallery delivers a fresh wave of creativity with re•creation (A Play on Words), a vibrant solo exhibition by Indianapolis artist Ayanna Tibbs. Opening December 5, the show taps into the power of curiosity, color, and imagination, drawing from Tibbs’ background in early childhood education. Her work highlights the idea that learning through play is not limited to childhood but continues throughout every stage of life. With bold shapes, intentional simplicity, and a spirit of exploration, re•creation transforms the gallery into a visual playground that encourages viewers to reconnect with joy and openness. Guests can meet the artist and experience this uplifting exhibition during the opening reception.
