The FREE Family Arts Series at White River State Park

In 2008, the FREE Family Arts Series was created to provide new stages and experiences for the community audience and for some of Indianapolis' premiere performing arts groups in an outdoor park setting.  The FREE concerts and performances provided opportunities for families from all walks of life to enjoy an afternoon or evening of entertainment at no cost.

Our continued vision for the FREE Family Arts Series will connect family audiences and passionate community partners with White River State Park.  Ultimately, each event within the series will expose visitors to the diverse cultural scene in our city.  Through free performances and community outreach, we have additional opportunities to enhance visitor expectations and experiences while visiting the Park and Indianapolis.

2008 Artful Impact Award

As a testament to the quality of its first year, White River State Park was honored with the Artful Impact Award in early September 2008.  This award, presented by the Indianapolis Arts Council, recognizes outstanding contributions by an organization or group to Indianapolis arts and culture.  This prestigious award highlighted the importance of this type of free summer arts series in our capital city.
