Youth Classes and Camps at Indy Art Center

Youth Classes and Camps at Indy Art Center take place in a 40,000 square foot facility that includes indoor art spaces and access to ARTSPARK, an outdoor creativity and sculpture garden. The program is part of a nonprofit organization that offers hundreds of classes and camps every year and hosts more than a dozen contemporary art exhibitions in six galleries each year. The Indy Art Center also hosts the OneAmerica Broad Ripple Art Fair as part of its ongoing arts programming.

Founded in 1934 as studios over garages associated with the Indianapolis Art Students League, the organization was incorporated in 1961 as the Indianapolis Art League Foundation and moved to a new facility in Broad Ripple Village in 1976. It was renamed the Indianapolis Art Center in 1994, and ARTSPARK, described as Indianapolis’ original outdoor creativity and sculpture garden, opened in 2005. The building was designed by architect and Indianapolis native Michael Graves, and in 2024 the organization remains a cultural destination. The Indy Art Center’s mission is to provide accessible and inclusive art experiences that inspire creativity, educate, engage, and enrich the community, and it has an outreach program that takes art into underserved communities in partnership with several arts, culture, and community organizations.
