IndyFringe exists to encourage, support and assist independent artists by providing an accessible, affordable outlet that draws diverse elements of the community together and inspires creative experience through the arts.

As Indianapolis’ pre-eminent incubator for the arts, IndyFringe encourages and supports local artists to take risks and introduce new ideas and experiences to our audiences. 

We provide open access to our theatres.

We work with artists of any experience level, style, ethnicity or background, providing both an innovative outlet for original and established work, plus a financial incentive to remain in Indianapolis. 

This, in turn, generates a rich culture of authentic theatre in Indianapolis. We encourage performers and audiences to take imaginative chances.
