"One artist, one at a time." This is the core principle of the OneAmerica Financial Broad Ripple Art Fair. We value fine art and fine craft by individual artists or collaborative teams who both create the work personally and sell it directly to the retail customer, and we ask all of our participating artists to share this value. The Art Fair is located on the grounds of the Indy Art Center designed by Hoosier Architect Michael Graves and its 9.5-acre ARTSPARK. Located in the Broad Ripple Village Cultural District— a cultural arts, shopping, night club, and dining district—the OneAmerica Broad Ripple Art Fair is next to the popular Monon Trail urban greenway and one block away from the newly launched IndyGo Red Line. The mission of the Indy Art Center is to inspire creative expression in all people. The OneAmerica Financial Broad Ripple Art Fair was created in 1971 by Marjorie Beal, who envisioned an event that would showcase local artists and be hosted by the Art Center (then Indianapolis Art League). Celebrating its 53rd year in 2025, the Art Fair attracts an average of 10,000 patrons and offers an opportunity for the public to meet artists from the U.S. and Canada, an array of food offerings, craft beer and wine, live entertainment, and to learn about and experience the unique mission of the Art Center. The OneAmerica Financial Broad Ripple Art Fair is a gated event that is the largest annual fundraiser for the Indy Art Center, a non-for-profit community arts organization. Income from the OneAmerica Financial Broad Ripple Art Fair is used to support our Outreach Department, year-round classes, exhibitions, lectures and workshops that promote the creation and appreciation of art.
