Episode 011 - MJ Coyle - HGTV Designer

Today I am not in the gallery, but kind of am.. Recently, one of my best friends in the world, MJ Coyle, moved his design and art studio into our building on East 10th Street in Indianapolis. Even though we both own & operate two different businesses, MJ and I have worked together almost daily for years now. MJ is best known for all of his interior design work on HGTV’s Good Bones, but fun fact, a lot of the artwork featured on the show for years, was created by him. MJ has been super busy the last few months, not only filming, but preparing his largest collection of artwork he’s ever created for an upcoming solo exhibit in my gallery that is opening on November 3rd. Today, I’m in MJ’s studio to talk about his upcoming show. MJ, its great to be in your space. https://www.mjcoylehome.com/home

Today I am not in my gallery, I am in the studio of accomplished Indianapolis artist and really good friend of mine Johnny McKee. Johnny’s roots in Indy go all the way back to his training at the Herron School of Art in the early 90s. Since then he has touched so many different corners of our art scene, from his early studio at the Ferris Building to the Indianapolis Art Center to running the Ashland gallery for 10 years in Broad Ripple and now Johnny has been at the Harrison Center for 8 years. Johnny has a major exhibition opening next month and to dive into what this show is all about.
