INDIANAPOLIS – Gallery 924, 924 N. Pennsylvania St., hosts “The Button Show: Tiny Wearable Art” through July 19. More than 1,000 1 and a quarter-inch, original artwork buttons have taken over the gallery walls. Buttons have long been a way for American culture to share ideas, passions, self-expression and political views. The practice of using buttons for political messaging goes back to the first presidential campaign for George Washington. Since then, buttons have become much more than campaign tools. Buttons were co-opted in the 1970s by the punk rock and new wave music scenes and emerged as their own subculture in the early 1980s.
