The event will also feature the photography of Cottage Home’s own Brad Severance on display at the Studio Alchemy Art Gallery. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to discover the hidden gems of Cottage Home!

In addition, this year’s Home and Garden Tour is bringing back the Renovator’s Relay.

This event was typically held as part of the Cottage Home Neighborhood’s annual block party, which itself served as a celebration of community pride and fellowship. This event involved teams of residents and volunteers competing in a friendly race to showcase their renovation skills and creativity.

The Renovator’s Relay not only provided an opportunity for residents to come together and test their skills but also served as a platform for sharing renovation tips, tricks, and expertise. It fostered a sense of community spirit and collaboration among neighbors, as they worked side by side to strengthen friendships while having competitive fun.

This year the relay is back at the end of the Home Tour. The participants in the Renovator’s Relay will compete by completing various renovation assignments to see which team performs the best.

Team members will participate in a timed heat to frame a stud wall, hang wallpaper, build a small brick wall, race a corded power belt sander, and run a teammate in a wheelbarrow.

The winning team will receive the Renovator’s Relay trophy. Sign up your team today. Register one team leader and list an approximate number of team members. More information will follow. It’s fun and it’s free!

East 10th Street Tactical Urbanism Safety Project
2026-04-18 09:00 - 15:00 | IN
Overview

Join us for a community Tactical Urbanism project on East 10th Street in front of Harshman Middle School and Theodore Potter Elementary.

To increase safety on 10th Street for walkers, cyclers, and cars, we are installing a temporary street art project on East 10th Street across from Harshman and Potter schools. The project area is from Newman Ave to Oriental Ave.

The project will be in place from April-October. We will be installing bump outs with bollards and paint around the 2 crosswalks across from the school. We will also be adding some additional structures along 10th Street in order to road diet and encourage slower and safer driving. The project plan will be shared once the final project is approved by DPW.

We will be collecting data before and after the project to evaluate whether a permanent solution makes sense in this area. If we show positive changes in days with this project, we will petition DPW and the City of Indianapolis to make permanent infrastructure changes in this area.

We need school and community volunteers to clean and prepare the streets for painting, divert traffic, place bollards, and assist the artist with sketching and painting the design on the roadway. We will provide safety vests and all tools and supplies needed. We will provide instructions, no experience is necessary.

Free parking is available right next to Theodore Potter Elementary School and Harshman Middle School. There is additional parking behind Harshman. This parking can be accessed from 10th Street or Oriental Ave. There will be restrooms and water available in Harshman Middle School for volunteers.

This event is led by the Harshman Family Student Teacher Association and made possible through a grant from Safe Routes to School, administered by Health by Design.
