Top Ten Art-Inspired Outings in Indianapolis

Indulge in an Artsy Experience

Indy is packed with unforgettable experiences, and whether you’re visiting for a weekend or rediscovering your hometown, count down these ten ideas to help you make the most of your time in the city.


The Newfields campus is home of the top ten largest art museums in the nation, prestigious grounds, and an outdoor art park.

Home to one of the world's largest collections of Western Art, the Eiteljorg is one of only two museums of its kind east of the Mississippi River.

Located in what was a boarded-up factory building on a residential street in the Garfield Park neighborhood, Tube Factory hosts a variety of conversations, performances, and events — while also serving as the workshop and home base for Big Car artists.

The Harrison Center is deeply focused on its commitment to serving artists, building community, and telling the story of Indy’s urban neighborhoods.

The Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library champions the literary, artistic and cultural contributions of Indianapolis native Kurt Vonnegut.

Offering classes in woodworking, ceramics, painting, and other mediums, families can learn art techniques while taking home something fun. The ARTSPARK offers 12 acres of outdoor interactive artwork including the Crooked Little House.

The recently re-branded Factory Arts District will turn heads with the opening of a new trampoline workout studio, apothecary, flag shop, and more. Better yet, it’s located at the confluence of the Cultural Trail, Monon Trail, and newly-extended (with some cool glow-in-the-dark pavement!) Pogues Run Trail.

  • A non-profit organization that serves to support artists through open studio events and annual open houses.

  •  Tenant artists are painters, jewelers, illustrators, sculptors, and photographers.
