The Organization About Newfields Newfields is a multi-disciplinary institution that features art galleries, lush gardens, an art and nature park, historic properties, performance spaces, seasonal festivals, and an outdoor amphitheater available to all. From inspiring exhibitions in the Indianapolis Museum of Art Galleries to a rejuvenating stroll through The Garden to concerts in The Tobias Theater, guests are encouraged to interact with art and nature in exciting, unexpected ways.
Visitors may be invited to take a moment of respite in the Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park on one of artist Jeppe Hein’s playful yellow benches, to catch a film from the National Bank of Indianapolis Summer Nights Film Series in the outdoor amphitheater, to explore works created by culturally diverse artists from Indiana in the Museum, to participate in art making with kids through a Wee Wonders education program, or to experience The Garden during Winterlights .
In 2018, a comprehensive 30-year master land use planning study was completed. With a successful $70M campaign to fund key projects of the master plan complete, many significant enhancements are currently underway to innovate gallery and exhibition experiences, develop and enhance The Garden, and improve community access to art and nature.
Newfields is home to the renowned Indianapolis Museum of Art, among the ten largest and longest operating art museums in the nation with an encyclopedic collection of 43,000 works of art; The Garden, featuring 40 acres of contemporary and historic gardens including the National Historic Landmark Oldfields–Lilly House & Gardens complete with a working greenhouse; and The Virginia B.
