THE ARTS

BREAK FROM THE ORDINARY—

The delicate wave of a ballerina’s arm, an entire choir singing in harmony, a classic play performed live on stage—these are the kinds of artistic expression that can enlighten us, inspire us, and move us to tears. Butler is at the center of Indianapolis’ thriving arts and cultural community. Located in the heart of campus, the Butler Arts and Events Center and Clowes Memorial Hall is a home for passion, innovation, and the highest caliber of student and professional performances. On any given night, you might see professional Broadway shows; student productions by Butler Ballet, Theatre, and School of Music; art exhibitions; or a speech by a Nobel or Pulitzer Prize winner. There’s always something to entertain, engage, and inspire you. Off campus and around Indy, you’ll find an exciting local arts and food scene. From internationally acclaimed museums to intimate music venues and theatres, film festivals to street fairs, farm-to-table restaurants to taco trucks, you’ll experience a city that opens your mind and sparks your imagination.
