When a year winds down, it’s second nature to think about the people in our lives who make it easier to exist. For Damien Center and Café Oztara, those people are our incredible staff members. They put more than their whole selves into supporting Indy’s community. And in doing so, allow Damien Center and Café Oztara to thrive in the present and grow into the future.

Where words fail to express the gratitude felt, perhaps space can. To bookend the first year of Damien Center and Café Oztara’s exhibition programming, it is an absolute honor to fill the gallery walls with our staff’s artistic expressions. Celebrate their greatness both in community and creative work. Visit, view, and cherish ‘Made by Damien’ through January 2026.

Located at Cafe Oztara. Free and open to the public. Food and beverages provided.
