Indianapolis Art Center

The Indianapolis Art Center was founded in 1934 as a Works Progress Administration program during the Great Depression to serve artists. Today, the Art Center inhabits a beautiful Michael Graves-designed building which sits on a 9.5 acre stretch along the banks of the White River in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis. Each year, the Art Center offers hundreds of art classes, over 50 art exhibitions in six art galleries, an Outreach program that takes art to underserved communities, and the Broad Ripple Art Fair.

There are eight exhibition spaces including the Churchman-Fehsenfeld, Clowes and Hurt galleries, 224-seat Frank M. Basile Auditorium, and the Basile Studio Shop.
