Some Art Will Die

For the Art vs. Art Main Event, we're always trying to come up with creative and menacing modes for the ominous Wheel of Death. In the past, paintings that did not sell were subjected to the baseball bat, samurai sword, acid bath, graffiti, or worse.

Got a great idea for a method of destruction? Let us know! You can explore past experiments at AvA Labs on our YouTube site.

Free Workshops

Fringe-tastic

We're pleased to continue our participation in the always creative and innovative Indianapolis Theatre Fringe Festival.

If you're signed up on our mailing list, you'll receive instructions for this year's Fringe Mob, which will take place on the opening day of the Festival on Friday, August 22. (In the past, we've Run with the Bull and staged a No-test Protest.)

For opening weekend, August 22-24, we'll set up the Home for Orphaned Art in the lobby of the Athenaeum and American Cabaret Theatre. When you attend the festival, bring in a piece that you no longer want or take an orphaned artwork home.
