Gallery 317: A Space for Black Artists

In Indianapolis, two artists are turning a passion into purpose: Rozell Jordan and Jarrod Dortch launched Gallery 317 to spotlight Black and Brown creatives, filling a glaring gap in local art spaces. Since opening in January 2025, this vibrant hub has hosted exhibitions, nurtured community, and offered consistent support—something many artists desperately need. Their current “Indy Legends” show celebrates local talent for free until June 27, and with 501(c)(3) status now secured, they’re gearing up to expand educational workshops on everything from artist statements to painting basics—all to empower the next generation of Indianapolis creatives.
