INDIANAPOLIS — The Broad Ripple neighborhood on the north side of Indianapolis is kicking off its summer celebrations with its annual art fair.
From May 18-19, the sounds and sights of the 52nd annual OneAmerica Financial Broad Ripple Art Fair will take over the neighborhood.
Over the course of the two-day celebration, visitors can enjoy visual art, music, interactive artmaking, and local food and drinks. This year's fair will also feature a bigger kids area and more artmaking activities for all ages.
This year's theme for the celebration is "Everybody's Art Fair."
"By supporting local art, we support the vibrancy of the community we are committed to serving," said Kim Thomas, chief diversity officer and head of community affairs at OneAmerica Financial.
Every year, hundreds of artists apply to participate in the fair, and only 150 are chosen. This year, 340 artists applied for the fair.
"The jury process is highly selective to include the very best artists in each medium,” said Shannon Bennett, vice president of events and exhibitions at the Indy Art Center.
Tickets for the event are on sale now. One-day adult tickets cost $20, one-day child tickets cost $10, and children 4 and under get in free.
