Get cultured at the Indianapolis Art Center
The Art Center builds a better, stronger, more vibrant, and more united community through art. As a nonprofit, every year they offer hundreds of classes and camps, more than a dozen contemporary art exhibitions in six galleries, an outreach program that takes art into underserved communities, the OneAmerica Broad Ripple Art Fair, and much, much more!
Located in Broad Ripple along the banks of the White River and just steps off the Monon Trail, the Art Center includes a vibrant and active 40,000 square foot building designed by world-renowned architect and Indianapolis native Michael Graves, and Indianapolis’ original ARTSPARK, a 9.5-acre outdoor creativity and sculpture garden with green space, trails, and a canoe launch.
Another fantastic free city attraction, this local gallery has been selecting the best of modern and contemporary art for over 100 years, giving seminars, workshops, and regular events along the way. The Indianapolis Art Center has some truly stunning exhibits (especially if you're into photography or sculpture), but it's also a great place to just walk around in: don't miss the outdoor sculpture garden or the peaceful cafe, where you can grab an alfresco lunch while admiring some of the center's best pieces. Despite being a 20-minute drive from the main attractions of Downtown Indianapolis, it's definitely worth the journey, with over 50 yearly exhibitions to select from.
