Kinda seemed like someones pricate collection rather than a legitimate art gallery. Very commercial-forward display. Seems more about the hustle than the art. The majority of the pieces and the spiel from them the tour guide were all from and about 1 artist. Clearly the mediocre sculpt the whole place revolves around is a better capitalist than artist. It is a form of performance art to watch the Emperor's sales team sell the story about his clothing though! Can't wait to make fun of what this cult does next!!!

Awesome gallery! It was quite empty when I got there, and apparently you're supposed to use the buzzer to get in, but once you do it is amazing! They have a great collection of Ilić Boban's work, and Dali's woodcut prints of art for Divine Comedy. Mary, the person who was working and let us in, was an incredibly knowledgeable and kind host, she was natural to talk to and her passion for the pieces in the gallery was almost contagious! They also have a grand piano and a chess table, both of which are available for anyone to use.Definitely my favorite Gallery experience in Indiana thus far.P.S. Though it is art, it must be noted that some of Boban's drawings are not the most child friendly.

Working with Gallery Forty Two was even more wonderful than we could have anticipated. We rented the venue unseen from another state for a corporate celebration being held in Indiana, and upon arrival we couldn't have been more pleased. The setting was beautiful, a small but mighty gallery that absolutely elevated our event. Fancy but funky with different styles of art and sculptures throughout provided for an incredible atmosphere. While we waited for guests to arrive they turned on the self playing piano which added to the ambiance. Once we switched to a playlist and opened the bar upstairs it allowed for our guests to mingle, speak, and enjoy each other's company.What truly made our experience was the incredible customer service we experienced with Gallery Forty Two. Planning an event from another state has its challenges, but Linda and Mary had everything handled before we arrived. During the event they knew our needs before we asked, and when we did ask for assistance with bringing out extra chairs or asking for supplies they were quick to handle our requests. Their professionalism and efficiency was incredible, and though these are perhaps things you come to expect from venues, their kindness and grace made working with them one of the best experiences in event planning.

The owners of this fine establishment are simply amazing. We desired the use of this stunning venue to set the stage for my son’s Proposal to his (now Fiancé). They did not hesitate to jump on board, doing everything they could to make sure the vision for his Proposal came to be ?♥️ THIS MOMENT would not have been all that it was without Gallery Forty-Two. ?I don’t know what your next occasion is, but before selecting a venue, you absolutely must see This Venue. It is AMAZING and the options are LIMITLESS.

I attended an Indy Rainbow Chamber After Hours event at Gallery Forty-Two. The building dates to 1830 and has been loving restored. There are new owners who are just getting into the art and event space business, their passion for the building and potential for the space shone through when we were talking to them. Bill gave us a tour of all 4 floors, explaining some of the art on display and detailing his plans for the spaces not yet finished. Gallery Forty-Two is going to be the perfect venue for weddings, its so close to Monument Circle it provides the perfect backdrop for weddings pictures downtown. There are lots of details and textures such as exposed brick and original doors that make for amazing photo ops inside also. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. This makes me want to renew my vows so I have a reason to book an event here. They do events on 2nd Fridays (instead of 1st Fridays to avoid competing with so many other downtown events) from 6-9pm. Go check out this stunning piece of downtown history, and enjoy the art at the same time!

What a fantastic space. The artwork is just incredible, and offers such a feast for the eyes! I attended a social reception at Gallery Forty-Two and from the moment we stepped inside it was like being immersed in a sensory wonderland. As an event venue, it had plenty of comfortable yet elegant areas for easy conversation and mingling, and the staff was just a delight. What a wonderful rebirth for this historic downtown landmark. If you're looking for an extra special place to host your next event you will definitely want to check them out!

High end gallery some very interesting pieces. If you want to look around or are looking for something for you our a gift. Art is of course very subjective ... what one person loves .. another might dislike but I saw a lot here that I thought was interesting.
