Penrod Arts Fair
The Penrod Arts Fair is one of the largest single-day arts fairs in the country. Taking place on the Newfields grounds since 1967, the fair welcomes approximately 20,000 patrons to enjoy live music, food, drink, and the wares of hundreds of artists. Please join us the first Saturday after Labor Day for “Indiana’s Nicest Day”.
The Penrod Society's core mission is to provide philanthropic service to the community, specifically underrepresented and underserved arts communities within central Indiana. More than half of the grants awarded to organizations in 2023 went to those that serve diverse populations or individuals at or below the poverty line.
