OneAmerica Broad Ripple Art Fair Tickets On Sale Now

A sure sign of spring, the OneAmerica Broad Ripple Art Fair is set for May 20 and 21. Tickets for the outdoor art and music festival hosted by the Indianapolis Art Center go on sale April 1.

This year’s theme, “Better Together,” kicks off a community-wide discussion about mental health and the benefits of creative wellness. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and for the first time, a wellness village will be part of the art fair. It will feature resources related to creative wellness, as well as environmental, financial, social/emotional and physical health.

Nearly 15,000 people annually enjoy visual art, music curated by Indy Jazz Fest and local food and drink at the two-day event on the campus of the Art Center and its ARTSPARK.

Artists apply to participate in the Broad Ripple Art Fair, and only a fraction of those who apply are chosen. The 2023 fair will feature more than 150 artists from across the U.S. to showcase and sell their work. Mediums include painting, drawing, ceramics, jewelry, textiles and much more. It also will feature an “Emerging Artists” area where selected Art Center students, college students and beginning artists will exhibit and sell their work.
