Fishers Make-Off 2026

Ignite Studio’s third annual Make-Off invites the public to watch selected artists create original artwork using Ignite equipment, kits, and in-house materials. Artists will have six hours to complete a mixed media piece, with monetary prizes awarded to the top three artists at the end of the day.

While the competition is underway, patrons can take part in hands-on art activities, including mini collage kits with a shadow box frame, a community assemblage wall, and a layered metallic mandala project. The first 50 patrons will receive art kits. A Public Maker Challenge is also offered with registration required.
