What’s
the Fringe?
The Indianapolis
Theatre Fringe Festival — or
IndyFringe — is
a 10-day alternative
theatre festival that
transforms Mass. Ave.
into a colorful, open-air
showcase of traditional
and alternative theatre,
dance, music, improvisation
and a wide range of
other performance
and visual arts. The
festival gives local
audiences the chance
to experience a cutting-edge,
quirky and downright
wild brand of theater
and visual arts performed
by local, national
and international
talent.

The
Home
for
Orphaned
Art
greets
visitors
in the lobby of the American Cabaret Theatre during
the
Indianapolis
Theatre
Fringe
Festival
during
its
opening weekend August
22 through
August 24. Constructed
as an
impromptu
gallery,
this "orphanage" displays
hanging
visual
artwork,
either
framed
or unframed,
that
passing
audiences
can
peruse.
Anyone
with
art
of any
kind
that
they
no longer
need
or want
is encouraged
to hang
it with
the
other
orphans.
It can
be art
they
have
produced,
art
they
own,
a Van
Gogh
print,
Dogs
Playing
Poker,
anything.
Anyone
who likes a particular
piece and wants to offer
it a good home can simply
take it off the rack
and leave a note with
their name and why they
chose that piece. If
they wish, they can
trade one piece of art
for another.
The
Home
for
Orphaned
Art
is maintained
by Primary
Colours,
a nonprofit
arts
organization
that
facilitates
interaction
between
visual
artists
and
the
community.
Its
purpose
is to
create
and
sustain
a thriving
environment
for
the
visual
arts
through
unique
exhibitions,
workshops
and
special
events,
including
Art
vs.
Art,
Allotropy,
Toys,
and
the
Professional
Development
Series
for
artists.
