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

Hey There
Our History
The fair takes place along Talbott Street, stretching from 16th to 21st Street. This historic corridor was acquired following a $200,000 bequest from John Herron to the Art Association of Indianapolis, an organization founded with the support of Mae Wright Sewell—a suffragette and influential civic leader who helped shape the cultural fabric of Indianapolis. If her name sounds familiar, she is also the founder of Kappa Kappa Kappa, Indiana’s longstanding philanthropic sorority, which remains active today.
The art fair itself was established on Mother’s Day weekend in 1956, beginning with just 15 exhibiting artists and craftsmen and welcoming an estimated 1,500 visitors.
