Fun With Art

As one of the top art shows in the US and Indiana’s oldest juried art fair, the Talbot Street Art Fair prides itself on showcasing the best in craftsmanship and artistry, all while being one of the only admission-free juried art fairs in the state! It will again be located on Talbott Street in the picturesque district of the Heron Morton neighborhood, in the downtown area of Indianapolis.

A Rich History

The Talbot Street Art Fair has a storied history that dates back to Mother’s Day weekend in 1956. It began modestly, with just 15 exhibiting artists and craftsmen and an estimated 1,500 visitors. This early iteration of the fair set the foundation for what would become a beloved annual tradition in Indianapolis.

Over the decades, the fair has grown exponentially, both in terms of participation and attendance. Today, more than 60,000 visitors come from near and far to view the extraordinary art of 220 juried artists from across the country. The variety of works on display is impressive, including 2D and 3D mixed media, fiber, clay, glass, jewelry, metal, photography, sculpture, and wood.

Supporting the Community

The Talbot Street Art Fair is not just about art; it’s also about community. As a nonprofit organization, the fair works hard to promote exceptional art pieces while supporting the local community. This support extends to providing art scholarships to Indianapolis schools and organizations, ensuring that the love for and appreciation of art is passed down to future generations.

A Family-Friendly Event

“We’re proud to be an inclusive, family-friendly event with a vast array of artists, mediums, and styles for all to personally connect with,” stated the director of the show. This commitment to inclusivity and family-friendliness has made the Talbot Street Art Fair a staple event in Indianapolis, one that residents and visitors alike look forward to every year.
