Join us for First Friday Open Studios, 5–9 PM, at The Stutz. On First Friday, Stutz Artists and creative business owners welcome the public to their open studios. It’s a chance to meet the artists, see how and where the work is made, and explore a wide range of original art available for purchase. Find the perfect piece for your home, ask about commissioned work, connect with creative businesses, or schedule an appointment. Buying art directly from artists helps support our local creative community—and gives you something meaningful to take home.
Visitors are invited to wander the historic halls of the former car factory, now a lively business and arts center filled with artwork, studios, live music, and creative energy. First Friday at the Stutz is family friendly and an easy, enjoyable stop for anyone exploring Indianapolis art.
🎨 Finding the Open Studios:
Enter through the main doors from the courtyard, then take the elevator to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors, where the Open Studios are located. Some guests don’t realize the studios continue upstairs, so be sure to follow the colorful ‘Open Studios’ signs and explore all levels.
🍷 Food, Drink, & More!
While you’re here, we encourage you to visit and support the Stutz’s on-site businesses, including courtyard favorites like Julieta Taco Shop, Amelia’s for fresh baked goods and provisions, and Turner’s Bar for adult beverages before or after visiting the studios.
🅿️ Parking:
There is metered street parking and paid lots are available around the building. The Stutz also offers free indoor bicycle parking.
