Indianapolis Downtown Artists & Dealers Association (IDADA)

The Indianapolis Downtown Artists & Dealers Association (IDADA) is a non-profit membership based organization of art galleries, art related businesses and artists within a twenty block square of the center of the city whose prime business is the creation and marketing of unique and original art. IDADA’s Mission is to develop public awareness of the artist and art dealer, to encourage strong continuing support of the visual arts, and to promote the highest professional standards.

IDADA hosts the longest running monthly gallery tour in central Indiana. The IDADA First Friday Art Tour is constantly changing and expanding. It is a self-guided tour around the Indianapolis downtown area that is free and open to the public. Most venues open their doors around 6:00pm and close around 9:00pm, or later in some locations. There is no specific start location or end location—people are free to roam to whichever galleries/studios they want to visit! To see the map of participating member locations, visit www.idada.org 

IDADA hosts monthly member and board meetings on the Wednesday after the First Friday. All members, current or those interested in becoming members, are encouraged to attend. Contact info@idada.org to learn more.
