WELCOME
Talbot Street Art Fair is a celebrated highlight of the national art scene—and Indiana’s oldest juried art fair! Nestled along Talbott Street in the charming Herron-Morton neighborhood of downtown Indianapolis, this beloved event showcases outstanding craftsmanship and artistry from across the country. Best of all, it remains one of the few admission-free juried art fairs in the state.
Each year, more than 60,000 visitors—from nearby communities and up to 100 miles away—flock to explore the work of 220 juried artists, representing a diverse range of styles and mediums.
As a proud nonprofit organization, we’re committed to elevating exceptional art while giving back to our community through art scholarships for Indianapolis-area schools and organizations. We welcome everyone to experience this inclusive, family-friendly celebration of creativity and connection.
We Look Forward to Seeing You

Our History
The current area of the art fair begins at 16th & Talbott, where the property at 16th and Pennsylvania (one street to west) and covering the block to Talbott was purchased after John Herron left $200,000 to the Art Association of Indianapolis which was founded with the help of Mae Wright Sewell, a suffragette, and a force to be reckoned with in the city of Indianapolis. If that name rings a bell with some of you, yes, she is the founder of Kappa Kappa Kappa philanthropic sorority in the state of Indiana that is still going strong today. On Mother's Day weekend, 1956, the fair was born with 15 exhibiting artist/craftsmen and an estimated 1500 visitors.
