Indianapolis Art Center houses one of the finest Indianapolis art galleries. The Indianapolis Art Center Artspark is a wonderful composition of nature and art, where Indianapolis residents and visitors can stroll, relax and observe sculptures in an open air setting. The Artspark exibit defies the restrictions of traditional Indianapolis art classes, and graces Broad Ripple with twelve acres of wall-free studios and galleries.
This exciting park has something wonderful and new around every corner. The Artspark was designed by the world-famous architect and Hoosier native Michael Graves. The exhibit was designed to be interactive, with scultpures, colors, sounds and textures for visitors to experience, not simply look at. Nearly 30 sculptures stand in the park, created by artists such as Robert Stackhouse, Carol Mickett, John Simms, Lucio Ruiz Rojas, Brose Partington, Judy Dominic and several others.
Some sculptures are located along the Monon Trail, and can be used as interactive equipment. Some pieces are borrowed from museums around the globe, but a few sculptures were made entirely from Indiana limestone. Funding for the Indianapolis Art Center Artspark comes from three major sponsors: the Arts Council of Indianapolis, the Indiana Arts Commission and the Lilly Endowment Fund.
The Indianapolis art community has embraced the Indianapolis Art Center Artspark with open arms. Many Indianapolis events are held at the park each year, including the Broad Ripple Art Fair, and several concerts, festivals, film screenings and art classes. The park is located in Broad Ripple Village, along White River. This park is an Indianapolis attraction for tourists, and a relaxing asset for residents.
The Artspark is a wonderful addition to the Indianapolis art scene, and is free and open to the public. This is an educational attraction for Indianapolis kids and families. Operating hours are dawn until dusk, and there are no fences or gates. Group tours of the Artspark are available at a nominal fee, and the park can also be booked for corporate functions and private events.
Whether you’re looking for relaxation, education or just plain fun, the Indianapolis Art Center Artspark has something for everyone. Come out and enjoy the scenery as nature and art collide at the Artspark.

Today, I was watching Fox 59 News. I saw an artist demonstrating her hand made jewelry to be displayed and sold at the Broad Ripple Art Festival. I would like to inquire about the cost of a booth or table set up at the Broad Ripple Art Festival. My daughter-in-law, Denise, has begun making her hand made jewelry and it is quite lovely. We are inquiring about festivals and cost set-up and what is required to set up. If you can help us, we would appreciate it very much. It may or may not be too late to get involved with the Broad Ripple event. However, if you can give us any information about upcoming Art Festivals in the Indianapolis area, and the cost to set up, we would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
