When and where is the show?
Art Squared is a 3-part event.
Art Squared takes place on Virginia Avenue and Prospect Street, in front of the Murphy Building and behind it. It takes place on September, 19th, 2015 from Noon to 6pm.
Masterpiece in a Day is where you can create a work of art in the visual or written categories the day of the event for a chance to win cash prizes. It is free to participate. Registration runs from 9-11 am the day of the event and completed entries need to be submitted by 3 pm.
The Art Parade steps off at 5 pm to wrap up our day with music, it’s where you can be a moving piece of art.
How long has the event been running?
The Fountain Square Arts Council is presenting Art Squared for the 5th year in a row.
How many are in attendance?
We do not charge admission to the event, so the estimated attendance per IMPD is around 3000.
How many artists/artisans are set up?
We currently have 90 artists registered.
What makes this event different from other festivals?
Our niche is that all of our artists live in Indiana. Unlike other art fairs in town, artists from other states are not accepted at this time. In particular, we want to encourage artists and art vendors within our neighborhood.
Why do you think an event like this is important to the art scene in Indy?
Art brings people together, it expresses our humanity, it creates common bonds, and it can improve neighborhoods.
Where do the artists/artisans come from?
Artists who are registered for Art Squared come from all over Indiana, some traveling many miles to attend.
What is the cost for the event?
Artist pay a minimal registration fee for a booth space. There is no fee to attend the event and check out the music, art and vendors.
Are you an artist yourself? And if so, where can we find your work?
I don’t consider myself an artist. I do some sewing and paper crafts, plus I have a mild interest in photography. I’ve never displayed or sold anything I have made. I have considered doing so in the future, once I build up some inventory. Right now my favorite thing to make is pillows.
