Palette to Plate: An Evening in Support of Stutz Artists

Palette to Plate was special and successful.

Palette to Plate was a special and successful evening on November 6, 2025 celebrating Indy’s creative spirit, bringing together art lovers, musicians, chefs, and community supporters for a Stutz Artists exhibit and benefit at the iconic Turner Jeffrey Building and Car Museum. Hosted in collaboration with Turner Woodard, the Stutz Artist Association, and Tinker Street Restaurant, the event featured original artwork by Stutz Artists available to view and purchase, live jazz, inspired bites, and a full bar—all in support of Indy’s original artist collective.

Supporting Local Artists and the Future of the Residency Program

Guests from across the community came out to support local artists and help raise funds for Stutz Artists efforts and the long-term goal of reviving the Stutz Artists Residency Program, which paused in 2020 during the pandemic. This event marked an exciting and meaningful step toward bringing the residency program back in 2026.

Live Jazz and a Culinary Experience

The evening was elevated by incredible live music from the Brenda Williams Jazz Trio featuring Ken Fary and Joe Deal, with additional lobby music provided by pianist Gary A. Walters. Guests also enjoyed outstanding food catered by our friends at Tinker Street, whose curated bites were a highlight of the night.

Art Exhibit, Raffle, and Community Support

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the many local businesses and artists who donated items for the raffle, including gift cards, artwork, and wine. Thanks as well to everyone who volunteered, purchased raffle tickets, and to all who attended—your support made this event a success!

A Successful Fundraiser for Stutz Artists

Palette to Plate was not only a beautiful celebration of art, music, and food, but also a strong start toward funding the return of the Stutz Artists Residency Program and supporting the future of our creative community.
