The Center
The Indianapolis Art Center is one of the largest community art facilities in the United States not connected with a university.
Our philosophy is grounded in the belief that art is more than just a picture on the wall-it is a vital component of a diverse, thriving community and an agent for social change.
Through classes, exhibitions, outreach programs and inter-arts events, the Art Center welcomes more than 285,000 annual visitors and hopes to provide them with the confidence to become life-long learners in the world of art.
The Art Center campus consists of:
- The $8.5 million Marilyn K. Glick School of Art, a 40,000 square-foot facility designed by world-renowned architect Michael Graves
- ARTSPARK, a 12-acre outdoor creativity and sculpture park designed to incorporate art and nature
- 13 state-of-the-art studios
- Three major fine art galleries and five exhibition halls
- A 224-seat auditorium
- The Frank M. Basile Studio Shop
- A library complete with a two-story atrium
