The Mass Ave Cultural Arts District

The Mass Ave Cultural Arts District is the beating heart of arts and culture in Indianapolis. Filled with bars, restaurants, boutique shopping, coffee shops, galleries, and more, this charming district just Northeast of the Circle provides the perfect backdrop for Indy's largest performing arts festival. See a list of some of our partner stores/restaurants below:

(Establishments listed have all either been sponsors of IF Theatre, or have allowed Artists to market their shows in their establishment).

Housing for Out of Town Artists

IF Theatre is not able to guarantee housing for all out of town artists. However, we have been able to find adequate housing for out of town artists for the past five years.

Information will be added here soon on the specific process to obtain housing during your stay with us.

Build Community at the Curtain Call Cantina

The Curtain Call Cantina is a landing pad for artists and audience members alike during the IndyFringe Festival. Located outside of Venues 1 & 2, and right next to Fringe HQ, the Curtain Call Cantina is an all-ages refreshment and entertainment space where you can gather to make plans, meet one another, and enjoy a variety of music and play experiences. We recommend using the cantina not only as a social space, but also a central hub for networking with artists and finding your audience. One of our theatre-goers' greatest delights is the privilege of meeting you and developing a personal investment in your work; after all, nothing sells a ticket like a personal relationship!
