The Indianapolis Art Center runs week-long summer art camps for ages 4-18, led by professional teaching artists at its Broad Ripple campus and the Fishers Art Center. Camps span drawing, painting, clay, fibers, photography, printmaking, and glasswork, with separate morning and afternoon sessions that families can combine into a full day.

★★★★★Laurie AndersonThe Broad Ripple art show was fabulous! We found many beautiful pieces for our home and met many interesting artists. We are beyond excited to put our new pieces up in our home. Wonderful show!
★★★★★Tim BaltesI'm a drummer who used to visit Indianapolis every November for PASIC. And every visit to town, I made sure that I stopped here. The art is always new every year. There's an amazing nature space out back that sits alongside the White River. That's super chill and worth hanging out at if the weather permits. And inside, there's plenty to see, plus there's free wifi in the library, so you can hang out and get some work done for free if you need a place to do so at. My wife and I look back on this place fondly. It's too cool. And don't forget to go to Rene's Bakery around the corer before or after you stop here because the treats there are incredible!
★★★★Mark PetrisonThe outdoor area makes for a quiet park for adults -- the nearby Opti Park has a playground, and may be more suitable for kids.
★★★★★Julina StoutArt and nature interspersed to create a charming place to enjoy the outdoors. Kids can roam around with plenty to entertain them. There are places to look over the river. When we went there was a fun community art project inside where you create an ornament to add to a tree on the wall using recycled items. It was a lot of fun and we will definitely go back.
★★★★Jason Johnston (Jason R. Johnston)The outside area is pretty with some interesting sculptures, and nicely shaded by green tunnels. The nearby river is calming, with some decent views via the wooden walking platforms. You can also stroll right down to the water if you don’t mind getting a little dirty. The art on display when I visited today is a little too leftwing for my tastes, but hey, that’s art. I wouldn’t bring children through it. I’m not in town long enough to take any classes, but it seems really cool. There is a nice little library down one of the halls. The art center looks nice and pretty well maintained, and the few staff members I ran into seemed polite and helpful.
