June 27-29 | Indian Market & Festival
Since 1993, the Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival has been one of the preeminent summer cultural events in downtown Indianapolis. Artists from more than 50 Native American or First Nations groups present art across multiple disciplines to be awarded, purchased and enjoyed.
Sept – Oct | Quest For The West
Quest is one of the top Western art shows in the country. Opening weekend registrants will be the first to see and bid on paintings and sculptures by some of the most prominent artists in a “luck of the draw” sale and a miniature art sale.

Every October, visitors can enjoy free admission to the Eiteljorg Museum during a day of celebration with performances, artmaking, Mercado vendors, community groups, and a community-curated art and altar display.
