The Indianapolis Art Center will once again gather more than 150 artists selling anything from ceramics to textiles for its 51st annual Broad Ripple Art Fair on May 20-21.

The outdoor art + music festival will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the theme “Better Together.” Because May is Mental Health Awareness Month, the fair will feature a wellness village for the first time. It will offer an opportunity to discuss the benefits of creative wellness and provide resources for environmental, financial, social/emotional, and physical health.

There will be a special preview party on Friday, May 19 featuring music from the Indianapolis Jazz Collective for those who purchase the VIP Weekend Experience ticket.
