The BUTTER Fine Art Fair returned for its fifth year in Indianapolis. For three days over Labor Day weekend, the art fair exhibited works from local and national artists.
Presented by the creative agency GANGGANG, BUTTER is known as “America’s equitable art fair” with all proceeds going directly to the artists.
