About this Event

The Art & Industry Happy Hour - 1st Tuesday of every month (calendar time!) TUESDAY APRIL 7 from 5.7 pm.


Appetizers, wine and soft drinks will be provided for our guests.

Join us for the Art & Industry Happy Hour, a recurring meetup that brings together small business owners, entrepreneurs, artists of all kinds and art-minded professionals who want to build community and strengthen Indianapolis’ creative economy. This relaxed, come-as-you-are gathering is designed for anyone who believes that business and the arts are stronger together. Expect great conversations, new connections, and a welcoming environment that encourages collaboration and fresh ideas.

Mass Ave. is a hub for culture and arts and planning is underway to imagine what the Mass Ave. cooridor can be for Indy going forward. We would love to hear from you about your ideas for ensuring that Mass Ave continues to be a place where people gather for arts, culture and entertainment. BRING YOUR IDEAS TO THIS MEETING!

Each event highlights the importance of supporting Indy’s arts scene—whether through partnerships, patronage, or simply showing up. You’ll meet fellow business owners who value creativity, learn about local artists and cultural initiatives, and discover ways we can collectively elevate our city. Whether you're launching something new, growing your organization, or just looking to connect with like-minded people, this happy hour is the perfect space to foster real relationships and community-driven momentum.

Come network, collaborate, and help grow a more creative and connected Indianapolis.
