You are invited to the IU Eskenazi School Open Studios! Join us for an inspiring celebration of our school’s renowned programs in art, design, and merchandising. Whether you're a current, past, or prospective student, community member, or visitor, you're invited to an exciting evening of creative exploration at the Eskenazi School. Tour our cutting-edge facilities in three studio buildings, view student work on display, watch demonstrations, and try your hand at making something of your own, all at your own pace. A free shuttle bus will be making regular rounds among the buildings during the event.
