$5–$10 donation

The Fonseca-Du Bois Gallery continues to feature the works of local artists of color. Michaila Gray is an exceptional artist born and raised in Indianapolis. This Third Thursday, explore the creative works of Gray who is better-known in the arts community as SegaJupiter. A participatory element included in the show will encourage attendees to express themselves creatively while they are surrounded and inspired by Gray’s colorful pieces.

Machaila Gray (b. 1998) is a multidisciplinary artist. She is a visual story-teller who channels feeling and imagination into vivid illustration and three-dimensional work. She attended Herron School of Art & Design and graduated in 2021. Through her journey as an artist, she continues to master intentionality with her work—using art not just as a means of escape, but a way to express what cannot be easily said.

Machaila Gray is self-taught and enjoys exploring new and different modes of creative expression that heightens her own experience and approach to her artistry. She has been showcased in various local art scenes in Indianapolis including Hoy Polloy Art Gallery, White Rabbit Cabaret, and State Street Pub. She was also an exhibiting artist for BUTTER 2024.

This May, we celebrate the colorful works of SegaJupiter that integrate her appreciation of anime, comics, and visions of Black women in action. Join us for this unique art experience at Indy’s only gallery with a focus on social justice. The Fonseca-Du Bois Gallery is funded by donations from its volunteers and visitors. We do not have grants which come with strings attached that can limit our artists’ creative expression. We appreciate your support of the gallery, but no one will be turned away for a lack of funds.
