Honeywell Arts Academy to Curate the Emerging Artist Series

The Honeywell Arts Academy Emerging Artist Series to occur over three dates in late 2024 and early 2025 at the Columbia Club

Three Indiana organizations have teamed up to create a new artistic endeavor. Starting in November, The Columbia Club will host the Honeywell Arts Academy’s Emerging Artist Series, presented by First Farmers Bank & Trust.

The series of three unique and expansive concert experiences will take place on Nov. 20, 2024, Feb. 13, 2025, and March 6, 2025, and each features a 60-minute live Cabaret-style performance of a new, up-and-coming artist. The performances will be open to the public and take place at the prestigious and historic Columbia Club in Indianapolis, in the Crystal Terrace.

“At First Farmers Bank & Trust, we are honored to partner with the Honeywell Arts Academy for their Emerging Artist Series,” said Tade Powell, Senior Vice President, Director of Communications & Public Relations. “This collaboration allows us to continue fostering and supporting local community growth. Through this unique concert series, we can celebrate creativity and innovation in the arts, and we empower these emerging artists to flourish. We’re excited to contribute to such a meaningful cultural initiative.”

The series is curated by Ranaan Meyer, the GRAMMY and Emmy award-winning double bassist of Time for Three and Founder and Artistic Director of Honeywell Arts Academy. His rich history in Indianapolis ensures the Emerging Artist Series will be a powerful experience for audiences.

“I am absolutely thrilled to see the Honeywell Arts Academy Emerging Artist Series take off this November and throughout early 2025,” said Raanan Meyer. “This new initiative not only showcases the incredible talent of up-and-coming musicians but also fosters a vibrant and creative musical community. It’s a privilege to contribute to a platform that escalates their reach through artistic expression. I can't wait to see how this series unfolds and the impact it will have on the future of music in Indianapolis and beyond.”

The Honeywell Arts Academy Emerging Artist Series creates a unique and expansive musical experience to enrich connections and strengthen the value of the Columbia Club’s world-class community and offerings. Honeywell’s network of world-class artists have all participated in their June Academy events, which are steeped in excellence and fueled by innovation. Honeywell Arts Academy provides a nurturing space for creativity to positively impact the next generation of musicians.

Columbia Club members and the public will have the opportunity to enjoy the 60-minute salon style concert, artist mingling before and/or after the performance and networking with other members through this curated concert series.

“We are delighted to host the Emerging Artist Series at the Columbia Club,” said Molly Richardson, Assistant General Manager at the Columbia Club. “This event aligns perfectly with our commitment to supporting local community involvement opportunities throughout Indianapolis. We look forward to providing a vibrant space where emerging artists can shine and connect with new audiences. It’s an honor to support the arts in this way and be part of these artists’ journeys.”
